Problems with MAC (string.h: No such file or directory) [solved]

JorgeVdB

Hi!!!!

Forget my last reply, my problem is before.

I don't know where I have to transform the Qt to a static library. The ./configure static instruction doesn't work in any place.

I have installed Qt5.0.1 and Qt4.8.4. I use Qt4.8.4 to compile.

The frameworks are in /Library/Frameworks and the plugins are in /Developer/Application/Qt/plugins.

When I installed I didn't change anything.

What I have to do???

Super Thanks in advance!!!

Muchas gracias por adelantado!!!

I have had an error in the last post, I use ./configure -static

In http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html#application-dependencies uses this instruction in the Qt path but in my /Developer/application/Qt/ doesn't work...

Thanks!!!

Inside the Qt folder I have:

Assistant.app Linguist.app imports pixeltool.app qdbusviewer.app qtdemo.ap
Designer.app QMLViewer.app phrasebooks plugins qhelpconverter.app translations

I have realized that I have Xcode 3.0 another time I don't know why... Can be the problem?

Ohh God I hate MAC...

sierdzio

You are not alone :)

Yeah it would probably be better to upgrade to Xcode 4.x, although the compilation should work with 3.x, too.

JorgeVdB

But, why it's possible that MAC unistall alone things??

sierdzio

Sorry, I don't understand that question, please rephrase.

JorgeVdB

Oh nothing, I thought that when I installed the new version, automatically remove the Xcode 3.0.

sierdzio

Xcode 3 has a different unistallation procedure than 4.6. IIRC, you need to run /Developer/xcode_uninstall or something similar. Search the web, there are tutorials on that.

JorgeVdB

And it's possible that I have problems with Qt? and with ./configure instruction???

Having both versions...

JorgeVdB

When I use ./configure -static, terminal answer me:

-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory.

Any idea??

sierdzio

Well, ss the script present in the directory you are in?

Hi, configure is found in the root directory of Qt's sources

JorgeVdB

Hi!!,

My Qt directory is in /Developer/Tools/Qt (and Qt5.0.1) and no one has configure...

JorgeVdB

I have installed qt-mac-opensource-4.8.4 and qt-mac-opensource-5-1.0.1-clang-offline

sierdzio

No need to configure, then. Your Qt is precompiled.

JorgeVdB

And then what is my problem?? Is problem with the linking the libraries??

JorgeVdB

I'm sorry, but MAC is driving me crazy... I had no problems with Windows ni Linux...

On the Mac a good alternative to using the Qt downloads from qt-project.org is to use the Brew package manager.

Follow these instructions to install brew http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

Then use it to install QT, brew install qt will install Qt4 and brew install qt5 will install Qt5.

The nice part about using brew is that you can actually have multiple versions of Qt installed and switch between them. brew switch qt <version>

I've also found that sometimes I had to run macdeployqt with sudo.
