>Description:
The x11-toolkits/qt4-gui and devel/qt4-corelib Makefiles define:
   USES=pkgconfig

(a build-time dependency on pkg-config)

The configure script detects the existence of pkg-config, and creates the build key as follows:
  "x86_64 usr/local/share/qt4/mkspecs/freebsd g++-4 full-config"
Note the "full-config".

(The build key is an identifier Qt uses to determine wether plugins were compiled with the same settings, architecture, and so on. Bear with me)

Then:

graphics/qt4-imageformats and graphics/qt4-iconengines do NOT define USES=pkgconfig

The result is that when building these in a clean room build environment such as poudriere, the binary package for x11-toolkits/qt4-gui is installed as one of the dependencies, however, pkg-config is _not_ installed.

The configure script detects the absence of pkg-config, and creates the build key as follows:
  "x86_64 usr/local/share/qt4/mkspecs/freebsd g++-4 no-pkg-config"
Note the "no-pkg-config"

The result is that Qt refuses to load the built plugins with the following message:

The plugin '/usr/local/lib/qt4/plugins/imageformats/libqtiff.so' uses incompatible Qt library. Expected build key "x86_64 usr/local/share/qt4/mkspecs/freebsd g++-4 full-config", got "x86_64 usr/local/share/qt4/mkspecs/freebsd g++-4 no-pkg-config"


If one does not use a clean room build, one usually installs the plugins after having built qt4-gui, and then pkg-config will still be installed as a requirement for qt4-gui, so the plugins are built with the correct build key (i.e. the same configuration).


>How-To-Repeat:
Build x11-toolkits/qt4-gui in poudriere, then build graphics/qt4-imageformats in poudriere.


A good output (note absence of "no-pkg-config"):

A bad output (note presence of "no-pkg-config"):

Configuration ..........  release shared dll largefile stl mmx 3dnow sse sse2 sse3 ssse3  minimal-config small-config medium-config large-config full-config no-pkg-config qt3support phonon accessibility reduce_exports ipv6 clock-gettime clock-monotonic getaddrinfo ipv6ifname getifaddrs system-jpeg system-mng system-png png system-tiff system-freetype system-zlib nis gnu-libiconv openssl x11sm xshape xsync xrender mitshm fontconfig xkb icu concurrent xmlpatterns multimedia audio-backend svg script scripttools declarative release



>Fix:

Add

  USES=pkgconfig

to /usr/ports/graphics/qt4-imageformats/Makefile,
and /usr/ports/graphics/qt4-iconengines/Makefile

(Note: there may be more qt4 plugin ports, the same would apply to them)
