Mac OSX, QT5.1.0, make: headerpad_max_install_names: No such file or directory

Hi everyone

I have installed Xcode 4.6.3 and command line tools, and of course Qt 5.1. I'm running on Mac OSX 10.8.4.

The linking part uses headerpad_max_install_names tool, which is not found on my Mac system (apparently).

I'm trying to compile a console application, here's my PRO file (this PRO file has worked fine in qt 4.x):

CONFIG -= app_bundle

CONFIG += console
QT -= gui core

DESTDIR = .
TARGET = mpm

DEFINES += MPM_Z80
win32 {
DEFINES += MSDOS
}

!win32 {
DEFINES += UNIX
}

QMAKE_LINK = $$QMAKE_LINK_C

HEADERS += asmdrctv.h config.h datastructs.h exprprsr.h modules.h pass.h z80_prsline.h
avltree.h crc32.h errors.h libraries.h options.h symtables.h z80_relocate.h

SOURCES += main.c asmdrctv.c crc32.c exprprsr.c options.c symtables.c z80_instr.c
z80_relocate.c avltree.c errors.c libraries.c modules.c pass.c z80_asmdrctv.c z80_prsline.c

The compile output looks is like this:

make
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang -c -pipe -O2 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -Wall -W -fPIE -DMPM_Z80 -DUNIX -DQT_NO_DEBUG -I../../Applications/Qt5.1.0/5.1.0/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-clang -I. -o main.o main.c

(more files compiled)
....

headerpad_max_install_names -Wl,-syslibroot,/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -o mpm main.o asmdrctv.o crc32.o exprprsr.o options.o symtables.o z80_instr.o z80_relocate.o avltree.o errors.o libraries.o modules.o pass.o z80_asmdrctv.o z80_prsline.o
make: headerpad_max_install_names: No such file or directory
make: [mpm] Error 1 (ignored)

I have tried searching for this name in Apple developer forums and on the net without much luck. I have no idea what the problem is, since I have to my understanding installed the necessary development tools.

Best regards

Hi all,

I have resolved the problem, which was the following line:
QMAKE_LINK = $$QMAKE_LINK_C

This removed the linker tool in the Makefile:
LINK = (empty)

The correct PRO file was:

TEMPLATE = app

CONFIG += console

macx {

Don't create a Mac App bundle...

    CONFIG -= app_bundle

}

QT -= gui core

DESTDIR = .
TARGET = mpm

DEFINES += MPM_Z80
win32 {
DEFINES += MSDOS
}

!win32 {
DEFINES += UNIX
}

HEADERS += asmdrctv.h config.h datastructs.h exprprsr.h modules.h pass.h z80_prsline.h
avltree.h crc32.h errors.h libraries.h options.h symtables.h z80_relocate.h

SOURCES += main.c asmdrctv.c crc32.c exprprsr.c options.c symtables.c z80_instr.c
z80_relocate.c avltree.c errors.c libraries.c modules.c pass.c z80_asmdrctv.c z80_prsline.c

There is no headerpad_max_install_names tool, just a linker directive!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Glad you found out !

When playing with variables like QMAKE_LINK (which generally you don't need to) adding something to it should rather be

@QMAKE_LINK += whatever_you_need@

or

@QMAKE_LINK *= whatever_you_need@

Otherwise (as you found out) you replace the current content of the variable

Hope it helps
