Interestingly, Qt 5.6/Mac added the possibility to use Freetype for font rendering. The jury is still out on whether that gives the expected results (esp. without use of fontconfig).

I should have looked at MacPorts' own fetching procedures before rolling my own. It turns out there's a `curl` primitive in one of the Tcl extension libraries, which provides the appropriate progress display.

Thanks, that was another oversight on my end. (If a port provides a -devel subport it is usually that one I have installed)

That's sadly not the 1st time something changes place. It's handled now (you'll be able to do a `port upgrade kf5-oxygen-icons` after refreshing the tree and running portindex).

Any idea who posted that message?

Hmmm, I'll have some more updating to do apparently :) This is not a bug. `Port search` searches through *all* indexed ports, and shows all (different) versions. In this case it means that the official port is 2 minor versions ahead of mine.

Do you need kdelibs4?

I just rebuilt all of kdelibs4 yesterday, after upgrading the port to the latest upstream kdelibs version. I didn't get this error. If you get the same output for the below command, something must be off with _IMPORT_PREFIX variable in your build:

May I presume that you installed grantlee from my port tree? If not, I'd advise reinstalling the port, making sure it's mine that you get.

I can send you a configure log for kdelibs4 if you think that helps.

Hmm, I was going to say that the requests were on the LAN (= behind the modem/router) in my case, but it's true that my Mac is connected via a Time Capsule which is also a router of course. If ever I need WOL I'll have to see if there are configuration options for it on the TimeCapsule.
