Solved Install Qt 4.8.7 on a Mac running OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
-
Ok, so it's an API that's not available anymore on El Capitan. You can use the patch homebrew is using to compile Qt.
So keeps all cores busy, if you need them for something else, just use less cores than what you have available.

I'm encountering the same problem as laseranichris, then I tried the patch. But then I got another error:
...
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"Phonon::ObjectDescriptionModel<(Phonon::ObjectDescriptionType)0>::qt_metacast(char const*)", referenced from:
vtable for Phonon::ObjectDescriptionModel<(Phonon::ObjectDescriptionType)0> in window.o
"Phonon::ObjectDescriptionModel<(Phonon::ObjectDescriptionType)0>::metaObject() const", referenced from:
vtable for Phonon::ObjectDescriptionModel<(Phonon::ObjectDescriptionType)0> in window.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
...How can I fix this? Thank you very much!

Did you restart your build from scratch ?
-
just configure with "-nomake examples"
-
@SGaist : yes, I retried from scratch but still encountered the error.
I'm trying with nomake example.

Hi,
I have tried to compile Qt 4.8.7 on Mac OS X 10.11(El Capitan)
After make -j1
I got
3 warnings and 2 errors generated.
make[2]: *** [.obj/debug-shared/qpaintengine_mac.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [debug-all] Error 2
make: *** [sub-gui-make_default-ordered] Error 2 -
Did you apply the patch I linked to ?

@SGaist
Thanks so much for your reply.
I didn't try the patch. I am new to this, and could you please tell me more detail about how to apply it? -

Hi
I think you just need to change the
src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac.cpp
file
All in red are deleted and this line is inserted:
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGDisplayCopyColorSpace(displayID);in the function
QCoreGraphicsPaintEngine::macDisplayColorSpaceThere is a tool to apply patches but in this case
"1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-)"
Seems ok to apply by hand. -
This post is deleted! -

Thanks a lot. After change the file, when input "sudo make -j1 install"
It runs almost half an hour. And end up with errors like this
make[3]: *** No rule to make target../../WebCore/debug/libwebcored.a', needed by
../../../../../../lib/QtWebKit.framework/QtWebKit_debug'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [debug-install] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-WebKit-qt-QtWebKit-pro-install_subtargets-ordered] Error 2
make: *** [sub-webkit-install_subtargets-ordered] Error 2 -
If you don't need webkit then disable its build. Also don't build as root.
