    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    That's normal, qmake is not your PATH. In the console your are using add the folder containing qmake in your PATH environment variable.

    On a side note it's Qt not QT. QT stands for Apple QuickTime.

      Ahh I see, thank you so much SGaist. Sorry I'm so new to this, how do I add the folder containing qmake to my PATH variable? (sorry for the dublicate question I thought I deleted the other one)

      I see my qmake is in this directory:

      /Developer/Tools/Qt/qmake

      I looked at these links but not too sure:
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qmake-variable-reference.html
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qmake-environment-reference.html

        It's not qmake related it's bash configuration.

        PATH=$PATH:/Developer/Tools/Qt/

            That line doesn't change PATH permanently, just for the current terminal until you close it.

                    And if you call qmake directly in the console ?

                      @SGaist

                      :) seems to output (shown below) the required :/ .... The installation seemed to have went correctly. I'm doing the 'make......xconfig' command (for a linux kernel modification) in a folder on my desktop. Simply going by this guide: http://arachnoid.com/android/Android-x86/
                      That's where I realized I need the Qt libraries so I installed them from the website. Is possible there is some conflict between some other systems?
                      I know I can use 'make ... menue config' instead since it doesn't use Qt libraries but it is case-sensitive which sucks on a mac since you need to do modifications there too (source: http://www.linuxchix.org/content/courses/kernel_hacking/lesson2 ) so I'd prefer 'make ... xconfig'

                      Pavels-MacBook-Pro:Qt Pavel$
                      Pavels-MacBook-Pro:Qt Pavel$ qmake
                      Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]

                      QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
                      some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
                      shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
                      mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

                      Mode:
                      -project Put qmake into project file generation mode
                      In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                      be built,
                      defaults to *.c; *.ui; *.y; *.l; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc; *.h; *.hpp; *.hh; *.hxx; *.H; *.cpp; *.cc; *.cxx; *.C
                      Note: The created .pro file probably will
                      need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                      specify what modules are required.
                      -makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                      In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                      be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                      file in your current working directory

                      Warnings Options:
                      -Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                      later -W options
                      -Wall Turn on all warnings
                      -Wparser Turn on parser warnings
                      -Wlogic Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
                      -Wdeprecated Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)

                      Options:

                      • You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
                      • processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be parsed *
                      • before [files]. *
                        -o file Write output to file
                        -d Increase debug level
                        -t templ Overrides TEMPLATE as templ
                        -tp prefix Overrides TEMPLATE so that prefix is prefixed into the value
                        -help This help
                        -v Version information
                        -after All variable assignments after this will be
                        parsed after [files]
                        -norecursive Don't do a recursive search
                        -recursive Do a recursive search
                        -set <prop> <value> Set persistent property

                        -cache file Use file as cache [makefile mode only]

                        Just thought of something: you are trying to cross-compile a linux kernel on OS X. You should rather create a virtual machine using e.g. VirtualBox and do everything directly form Linux. That will save you time.
