#50331: gpsbabel: fails to build on 10.6 due to the "qmake5" portgroup

 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:
 Keywords:  snowleopard  |       Port:  gpsbabel
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 The gpsbabel port fails to build on snowleopard just because it uses
 qmake5. I see two things that could be fixed here:
   * If a port requires `qmake5` PortGroup, it could already fail in the
 pre-fetch phase on 10.6 rather than during the build of `qt5-qtbase`.
   * I'm almost sure that the port doesn't need to depend on Qt 5, in
 particular not in current shape when we are only shipping a command-line
 utility without the GUI.
   * (There is a fair chance that the port would work with Qt4, but I
 didn't try to investigate.)
