creating makefile for new pgadmin4 port: qmake error

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a port for pgadmin4. If I follow the instructions in 
the readme file for building from source (first a qmake and the a make), 
all works fine and the pgAdmin4 binary is build.

Next step is to create the makefile for the port. So far I have:

[...]
PORTNAME=		pgadmin4
PORTVERSION=		3.3
CATEGORIES=		databases
MASTER_SITES=		PGSQL/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v${PORTVERSION}/source/
DISTNAME=		pgadmin4-${PORTVERSION}

MAINTAINER=		mbeis at xs4all.nl
COMMENT=		PostgreSQL Administration Tool

LICENSE=		PostgreSQL

BUILD_DEPENDS		sphinx-build:textproc/py-sphinx
USES=			pgsql python qmake qt:5
USE_QT=			core gui network widgets

.include <bsd.port.mk>
[...]


The error I get at this point is that qmake doesn't seem to work:

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

Mode:
   -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                  In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                  be built,
                  defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
                  Note: The created .pro file probably will
                  need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                  specify what modules are required.
   -makefile      Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                  In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                  be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                  file in your current working directory

Warnings Options:
   -Wnone         Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                  later -W options
   -Wall          Turn on all warnings
   -Wparser       Turn on parser warnings
   -Wlogic        Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
   -Wdeprecated   Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)

Options:
    * You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
    * processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be    *
    * processed before [files] by default.                            *
   -o file        Write output to file
   -d             Increase debug level
   -t templ       Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
   -tp prefix     Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the 
value
   -help          This help
   -v             Version information
   -early         All subsequent variable assignments will be
                  parsed right before default_pre.prf
   -before        All subsequent variable assignments will be
                  parsed right before [files] (the default)
   -after         All subsequent variable assignments will be
   -late          All subsequent variable assignments will be
                  parsed right after default_post.prf
   -norecursive   Don't do a recursive search
   -recursive     Do a recursive search
   -set <prop> <value> Set persistent property
   -unset <prop>  Unset persistent property
   -query <prop>  Query persistent property. Show all if <prop> is empty.
   -qtconf file   Use file instead of looking for qt.conf
   -cache file    Use file as cache           [makefile mode only]
   -spec spec     Use spec as QMAKESPEC       [makefile mode only]
   -nocache       Don't use a cache file      [makefile mode only]
   -nodepend      Don't generate dependencies [makefile mode only]
   -nomoc         Don't generate moc targets  [makefile mode only]
   -nopwd         Don't look for files in pwd [project mode only]
*** Error code 1

Stop.

So question is why is qmake not working? Probably need to add something in 
the Makefile but I've no idea what. I've tried all the possibilities in 
chapter 6.12 in the porters handbook. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Marco
