SOLVED: Failed to compile / run a Qt demo on Mac OSX

pmh4514

I've been using Qt on the PC for a while, and now installed it on a Mac (I am not very familiar with Macs but am learning)

I installed XCode 5 from the app store and command line tools, then installed Qt5.3.1 using the online installer.

I restarted, opened QtCreator, selected the "DirView" example and tried to build it to run.
It failed with what you see below. Any ideas what I've not setup right? (again, very much a Mac newbie)

.. actually I'm thinking Qt didn't fully install, as I don't see it in the applications list when I look to try to uninstall it.

going to try downloading the complete installer and re-installing. will post back.

Hi,

Indeed, when you see this it means that the installation failed at some point. Check that you can access the command line tools properly
