Install from scratch new empty project won't compile

clogwog

is the Platform SDK the android platform SDK ? Because i don't think that is what apple is calling their SDK..

I can only see the
"Kernel Debug Kit 10.14"
or the
"command line tools 10.14 for XCode 10"
in the https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ downoad link

Just re-installed XCode just in case that was the problem, but it didn't help.. still complaining about the Platform SDK.

if i ignore the warning and try to build the exact output is:

06:37:09: Running steps for project throwaway6...

see the "platform has been changed, please clean and delete..." ?
this is a brand new project, this is the first time this is being build.

Hi,

What do you get if you run xcodebuild -showsdks ?

clogwog

Which one of these SDK's is referred to when the error mentions "Platform SDK" ?

SGaist

Since you are building for macOS, it's macosx10.14.

I would do a search on your machine in order to find if there's any .qmake.* file lying around containing 10.11

clogwog

@SGaist said in Install from scratch new empty project won't compile:

.qmake.*

found all items of .qmake.* and removed them.
still same error.

just figured out if i change to use qbs instead of qmake it works..
searched for all instances of qmake :

/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/ios/bin/qmake
/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/android_armv7/bin/qmake
/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/android_x86/bin/qmake
/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/bin/qmake
/Users/clogwog/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.11.2/qmake

/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/Src/qtbase/qmake
/Users/clogwog/Qt/5.11.2/Src/qtbase/examples/qmake

and /Users/clogwog/Qt was empty before the install using the online installer.

i guess i can continue just using qbs

just wish i knew what is going on here.

SGaist

Did you try to search for any file containing 10.11 ?

clogwog

@SGaist yes, can't find any Qt related file that still points to 10.11

Jartza

I seem to suffer from same problem, except the error shows different version. Tried following:

shenanigans:qml_tagsutest jartza$ qmake
Project WARNING: Qt requires at least version 10.14 of the platform SDK, you're using 10.13. Please upgrade.

but:

shenanigans:qml_tagsutest jartza$ xcrun --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk

and

shenanigans:qml_tagsutest jartza$ xcodebuild -showsdks

@Jartza i know it's not a fix, but if you switch to the QBS build system instead of qmake it seems to work.

Hi... I'm facing the same problem and well... here is what I get looking for 10.11 on "qmake" files:

~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-clang/qmake.conf (1)
5 QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.11
~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-g++/qmake.conf (1)
13 QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.11
~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-icc/qmake.conf (1)
101 QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.11

But even if I change this values to 10.14, the error persists

jamesalexander

I'd like to indicate that I have the sam issue. I ran into the problem because I had an older version of XCode, I upgraded, but the problem persists, i.e. qmake is referring to my using 9.3 of iOS simulators, when I have 10.x installed. Creator build config validates the various versions of iOS simulators I have are in fact new.
