HELP!!!! Getting started - Build failure...
-
Hi,
Just to be over clear, shall I run in the terminal "export SDKROOT ..." command
I have tried the suggested solutions that raimeida suggests. No luck
My error is on Mac 10.9.4 in NetBeans 7.3.1 and a Qt application, and I'm getting:
Project ERROR: Could not resolve SDK path for 'macosx10.8'
make[1]: *** [nbproject/qt-Debug.mk] Error 3 -
Got Xcode 6 installed by any chance ?

About SDKROOT
SDKROOT refers to where is MacOS SDK. In other words, SDKROOT refers to "where is Xcode SDK". So, you must have Xcode installed and you need to know Xcode path. Usually Xcode is installed inside /Applications directory.
To find wich SDK you have installed, in terminal (one line):
@
ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
@You must to export SDKROOK in your .bash_profile file. This file is in your $HOME directory; in my case:
/Users/ralmeida/.bash_profile
Fail proof:
- If your os version is Lion then your SDKROOT must contain MacOSX10.7.sdk
- If your os version is Mountain Lion then your SDKROOT must contain MacOSX10.8.sdk
- If your os version is Maverick then your SDKROOT must contain MacOSX10.9.sdk
- If your os version is Yosemite then your SDKROOT must contain MacOSX10.10.sdk
About QMAKE_MAC_SDK
From docs: "This variable is used on Mac OS X when building universal binaries.". It refers to which OS version you are trying to compile. If you have Mavericks then your os version is 10.9 (you can check this in "about this mac" menu).
About "Could not resolve SDK path for ‘macosx10.8’ "
If you are using Yosemite (macosx10.10), Mavericks (macosx10.9), Lion (macosx10.7) or older then your Qt is misconfigured because you are trying to compile for Mountain Lion (macosx10.8). Fix your *.pro files according to your osx version using QMAKE_MAC_SDK variable (see previous post).

Other alternative is fix your mkspec platform file according to your mac os version:
Edit qdevice.pri file. In your Qt directory
@
nano /5.3/clang_64/mkspecs/qdevice.pri
@And change:
@
!host_build:QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.8
@to (assuming that you're using Maveric):
@
!host_build:QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.9

Hi raimeida,
Tried as suggested, though no success.
Added QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.9 to my projects .pro file (shouldn't it go into the project template for .pro? )Also added “export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk” in my .bas_profile file using nano
Just change of error message ;(
In Qt I get "error: [ui_mainwindow.h] Trace/BPT trap: 5"
Also tried to restart after I removed the .pro.user file and debug folders with no successand in NetBeans its another on the std includes!!???:
main.cpp:8:10: fatal error: 'QtGui/QApplication' file not found
#include <QtGui/QApplication>Come across the last one before in Linux and just changed it to #include <QApplication> and problem solved there. Sorry to say but not here on Mac
Any ideas?

[/quote]Looks like a different kind of problem. Maybe you need to reconfigure your project settings. Did you "clean & qmake " before rebuild ?

This is a code problem. Looks like your code was written for Qt4 and you are updating to Qt5. I suggest to read some docs related to migration from Qt4 to Qt5.
