[SOLVED] Trouble Building Qtbase 5.2.1-ish on Mac. Problem with xcb.

EricRFMA

Hello...

I have the Qtbase git clone "2b3f293 Android: Refactor the InputType mapping code."

I'm trying to build it on Mac OS 10.8.5, Xcode 5.0.2

If I use
@./configure -debug -prefix /Projects/Qt5.2.1RC1 -debug-and-release -sdk macosx10.8@

I end up with:
@Running configuration tests...
The test for linking against libxcb and support libraries failed!
You might need to install dependency packages, or pass -qt-xcb.
See src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README.@

The README doesn't mention the Mac, but I installed <code>xcb</code> via macports, which landed in <code>/opt/local/{bin,lib,include}/xcb</code>. <code>configure</code> still isn't seeing it.

If I add the <code>-qt-xcb</code> to <code>configure</code>, then <code>configure</code> finishes. But then I have a problem with the make:

../../../../3rdparty/xcb/sysinclude/xcbext.h:1:10: fatal error: 'xcb/xcbext.h' file not found
#include <xcb/xcbext.h>
^

Is this something I should/can ignore? I believe xcb is an X11-ism, which I'm not using at all, as far as I know.

Thanks for any/all help!

XCB is not needed on Mac. Something is definitely wrong. Try updating your repository. Before that, maybe try also passing the mkspecs: -platform macx-clang

And make sure you have a clean repository before running configure:
@
git reset --hard
git clean -dxf
@

Hi,

You can just pass -no-xcb when configuring and you should be fine

EricRFMA

Yeah, I thought that was weird. I already cleaned the local repository by deleting it and cloning another. I'll try updating the mkspecs.

Thanks!

And that's different from -qt-xcb ? Ah, I see that it is... I'll try that. Thanks!

SGaist

Yes, it disables xcb entirely.

IIRC there's a glitch in the configure script when pkg-config can be found on OS X, that's why it tries to build the xcb platform plugin

EricRFMA

Thanks , SGaist! That did the trick!

I love these forums... :)

You can make them even better by marking your thread as solved ;) I've already tagged it for you.
