</span>Michael Pyne (kdesrc-build author) told me it requires Perl 5.12 or later.<br>
<br>
MacPorts has Perl ports up to about 5.20 and has a thriving industry in<br>
Perl and Python ports, depending on various versions of Pe* and Py*, so<br>
much so that something like a third of all the port names begin with "p"!!!<br>
There has been some tidying up by the MacPorts developers lately,<br>
but I have not been following it.<br>
<br>
For kdesrc-build, a while back, I requested from MacPorts:<br>
p5.12-json @2.900.0_0<br>
p5.12-lwp-useragent-determined @1.70.0_0<br>
but now I see that I also have p5.16* ports installed, as dependencies<br>
of kdelibs4, via texinfo, so I might as well be using:<br>
p5.16-json and<br>
p5.16-lwp-useragent-determined<br>
and so might you.<br>
<br>
Just requesting those via "sudo port install" should automatically bring<br>
in all the other Perl ports you may need, if they are not already installed.<br>
This is one of the joys of MacPorts… :-) What is more, MacPorts records<br>
what you have requested and you can run "port echo requested" to get<br>
a list at any time. Very handy before major moves, such as migrating to<br>
a new version of Apple OS X.<br>
<br>
I don't know what p5-json-any is, but it is clearly not what you want.<br>
The port info command describes it as a "wrapper".<br>

<br>
</span>Why indeed? MacPorts had KDE4/KDE3 and Qt4/Qt3 apps co-existing<br>
until not so long ago, but I think there is a lot of work involved for MacPorts<br>
developers to set the equivalent up for 4/5... and not a lot of demand ATM…<br>
<br>
Nicolas Pavillon, whom you have not met yet, is the main MacPorts<br>
developer for KDE ports and a member of our KDE-Mac group. He<br>
has been doing an excellent job of keeping up with the latest KDE 4<br>
versions, not to mention our latest patches for KDE 4 core software.<br>
We defer to him on matters re KDE and Qt releases on MacPorts.<br>
<br>
As for the rest of us, René is still powering along, but Marko and I have<br>
been "resting" a little lately, after bashing away at CI, Qt5 directory names<br>
and Dr Konqi problems. However I am now beginning to feel the juices<br>
flow again… :-) I hope Marko is too!!!<br>
<br>
Once again, welcome aboard, Jeremy!!! Pick a problem… :-)<br>
