    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!

      @SGaist : yes, I retried from scratch but still encountered the error.

      I'm trying with nomake example.

        It really boils down to:

        ./configure
        make -jX where X is twice the number of core you have available
        sudo make install

          Did you apply the patch I linked to ?

            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::macDisplayColorSpace

              There is a tool to apply patches but in this case
              "1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-)"
              Seems ok to apply by hand.

                  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.

                        Hello,
                        Would it be possible to share the build of qt.4.8.7 for El Capitan?

                        thanks.
