[KDE/Mac] kf5-kate crashing due to dbus with a MacPorts-based KF5 installation

Hi Christoph,

since you managed to get kate to run properly on OSX you might have a clue what’s going on here on my end.

I also have an unpatched - but concurrent - qt5-mac installed via MacPorts:
---
MVM7-2:kf5-kate marko$ port installed qt5-mac
The following ports are currently installed:
  qt5-mac @5.4.2_1 (active)
---


After installing ECM + KF5 version 5.15.0 from [1] on my MacPorts-based VM I tried to get Kate to work as well [2]
(i.e. 63 KF5-ports in total), but quickly ran into problems after installation when running kbuildsycoca5:

As you can see kbuildsycoca5 threw a warning regarding applications.menu! Don’t know what’s responsible for that.
kbuildsycoca5 wants to start DrKonqi, which can’t be found either, which is no surprise to me by now anymore … :(

The above warning "Warning: kf5-kate installs files outside the common directory structure.” is due to the fact,
that my port file doesn’t install the files according to MacPorts’ rules regarding the directory structure.
For completeness I have appended the contents of the kf5-kate port at the end of this post.




When I now try to start Kate it crashes:

And this is what I see using the dbus-monitor:

Could it be that this is caused by the toolbar’s icons not being found on my end?

Well, installing port oxygen-icons didn’t help.

     >>> I am giving up for now. <<<

Someone more experienced with MacPorts as well as KF5 needs to take over!

I hope that the port group kf5 and the port files I created in [1,2] can be of some help.

Greets,
Marko
