MacOS X Mavericks/Xcode 5 Qt 4.8.5 can't find Make
-
As usual, every time I get updates from XCode, I rebuild Qt from source code, right now I'm using Qt 4.8.5
Now, the problem is that, with this update to XCode 5, I had to install the command line tools separate from XCode, as I see Apple really makes an effort to kick you in the b*lls so you either use xcode or nothing at all.
After installing the command line tools, and testing make, cc, etc. everything worked fine, but now that I try to run the configure command to build Qt, I get an error that the configure script can't find make! I setted the environment variables by hand, and still nothing, but other tools I use are building ok.
The following configure command is the one I've used since 4.8.2 and I know it works.

You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH.
Cannot proceed.
@Has anyone seen this before? thanks!

Hi,
what does
@which make@
return in your console ?
-
Then it's getting stranger, which exact version of Xcode are you using ?
-
What does happen if you just call configure without any options ?

I'm sorry I haven't posted, as the macbook is at my house and at work I use a Win 7 box.
It turned out that because of some weird character in the file I had that issue, even though I downloaded the source from the tar.gz package, still had bad char issues, I just ran a perl command to remove all odd characters and it was able to find make.
Now the issue is that the build breaks, first I get a zillion warnings because it says that the Mac OS X version is not supported, and then it breaks building webkit, after I tried using the --no-webkit flag, now it breaks in phonon, the problem is that I use webkit in my application, so I guess that 4.8.5 is just not build for newer OS and I don't even know if there's gonna be a patch to be able to build it in Mavericks, as everything is moving to Qt 5, but still I can't hold my development and I don't have the time to migrate all of my codebase to Qt5, and also the mac extras I make use of, still break in Qt 5.2 beta1, and from what I see in JIRA, basic stuff like mac unified toolbar is not likely yet to appear even in the final 5.2 version, and that's a BIG hold up for moving to Qt 5.

Don't worry, Qt 4.8.6 is planned, and has already entered some initial release procedures. It should be out in a few weeks' time.

You can build it from git so you'll be "bleeding edge"
-
No need to navigate it just do:
@ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git@
grab a [insert name of favorite hot beverage] and you should be good to go
-
Yes it does.
Qt 5 can be found in git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git
