    So, pretty much same issue --- make worked fine but sudo make install produced errors after copying numerous files

    @

      I would suggest to use prefix that is accessible for your regular user to avoid calling sudo
      @
      ./configure -prefix $HOME/Qt
      make
      make install
      @

        Hi,

        I don't know the exact cause of this problem, but the problem lies somewhere with the 3rd-party Assimp software.

        Assimp is only used in Qt 3D. The tricky part is, Qt 3D is not released yet; I don't know if that repository can be built and installed successfully on OS X or not. The problem should go away if you delete the qt3d subfolder before you configure, build and install Qt 5.

        The easiest way get a copy of source code that only contains officially-released modules is by going to http://qt-project.org/downloads , click "Show Downloads" and scroll down to get the code (for your convenience, the latest version is http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.1/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.1.tar.gz )

        However, if you really want to use git, follow the instructions at http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git . Instead of checking out all the submodules yourself, check out the top level repo (qt5.git) only. Then, run the init-repository Perl script, which will checkout the correct submodules for you.

          @andreyc --- good idea --- sudo make install is just a habit. I'll do that next time as I try again

          @JKSH --- thanks, I will try deleting that folder and see what happens.

          I do appreciate all the helpful suggestions.

            If I do 'make install' without sudo I get immediate (and unsurprising) errors

            @

              Hi,

              You forgot to set a prefix to point to a user writable location like andreyc suggested.

                    Hi,

                    Qt 3D has not yet been released. It is currently being rewritten, so it should not be used for serious projects.

                    However, if you really want to try it out, use the dev branch. The master branch is abandoned.
