Qt 5.2.1 fails to build on OS X
-
Although configure seems to work perfectly, running make results in errors almost immediately:
Project WARNING: You should probably load(qt_build_config) first in bootstrap.pro for QtBootstrap, as the latter also load()s qt_module.
Project MESSAGE: Not doing so may lead to qt_module.prf overriding compiler/linker options in your .pro file.
Project MESSAGE: Ignore this warning with CONFIG+=no_qt_module_warning if you know what you are doing.
Project ERROR: Module does not define version.
make[2]: *** [sub-bootstrap-make_first] Error 3
make[1]: *** [sub-src-make_first] Error 2
make: *** [module-qtbase-make_first] Error 2I'm running this on OS X 10.8.5 with XCode 5.0 installed.
Options to configure were the following: -opensource -arch x86_64 -debug-and-release -no-framework -confirm-licenseHas anyone successfully built Qt 5.2.1 from source on OS X?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Which source did you use ? Git ? Package ? If the later, zip or tar.bz2 ?
-
Hi,
I downloaded the .tar.gz package
( http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.2/5.2.1/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1.tar.gz ) -
Any reason you want '-no-framework' ? I built it on many different machines with similar config, except for that one.
-
I've changed my configure options to
configure -opensource -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebkit-examples -no-framework -confirm-license
but still no luck. I can't skip qtwebkit as I need webkit. As for the no-framework: it has a reason but I can't remember what it was and removing that option doesn't make a difference; the error still occurs.

[quote author="steno" date="1392824203"]Are you running just make or make -j(some number)?[/quote]
I've tried both "make -j9" and simply "make" with no difference.
Is there some way to raise the verbosity of the build process? (I tried "make -d" but that generates output for debugging make)
Or another way to pinpoint the source of the problem?For info: Qt 4.8.4 is installed (built from source and then installed using "make install") in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.4 but that shouldn't make a difference.

All I can think of is that you have non standard tools in your PATH (macports, fink, etc) or you are not building from a clean source tree (and make confclean does not give you a clean source tree, delete and extract the tar.gz again).
Like I said, I've build Qt5.2.1, with latest OS and latest Xcode many times.

I've deleted my entire source tree several times already, so that can't be the cause.
I don't remember installing either fink or macports. How do I check if one of those is installed? Btw wouldn't that generate problems when building other code as well?
