Interesting Qt6/configureccache problem

[Alexander Newman]

After I read a post here recently regarding activating configureccache in the macports.conf file, I turned it on. As luck would have it, a full update to the Qt6 had just landed - and the upgrade promptly broke in a call to ninja.

After some thought I remembered that the one change that I'd made to Macports was that I'd turned configureccache on, so I turned it off.

Hey presto!, the upgrade process worked for the entire Qt6 suite, without a murmur.

I must confess that I had really only installed Qt6 out of curiosity in the first place. There are apparently - at least at this point - (still) no ports that depend on it.

Having had no problems before with configureccache turned off, it will stay off.

As to making trac reports for this issue, it appears not to be a Qt6 problem as such, and I didn't think that I could attach a qt6 log to the ninja port in case I'd made a mistake and it wasn't ninja at all. And after running 'clean --all Qt6*', there were no log files left to post.

Cheers,
Alex.
