Unable to do static build from Qt source on MAC

SGaist

Hi,

There's absolutely no requirements for a static build of Qt on macOS. macdeployqt was created to fix your application bundle with the various frameworks your application needs.

As for your error, what version of MySQL are you using to build the plugin ?

Ok, good to know that about macdeployqt.
I still hope to get a static build going on Mac.

I do not have any MySQL installed. Should I?
And if so, I use the -sql-driver flag for configure?

SGaist

Since the build is failing for the MySQL plugin, you likely have it somewhere configure found.

i will check on that in a bit.

I have since borrowed another Mac and tried to compile same Qt version statically.

And I got different errors. Do you know what this one is about?

What version of Xcode are you using ?

vyau

I am using Xcode 7.3.1

SGaist

You are going to have to update. That version of Xcode is too old to build such a recent version of Qt. Or at least the platform plugin part.

vyau

ok, I think I need to upgrade OS as well.

@SGaist
I am using MySQL 8.0.12. It is installed by Brew on my Mac

Is this version too old hence the error?

SGaist

Current version if macOS Mojave.

SGaist

IIRC, you need Qt 5.12. MySQL removed the use of the my_bool type at some point. The plugin has been updated.

@SGaist thanks

vyau

To summarize, I have oudated Xcode and Mysql :)

SGaist

Your MySQL is not outdated as the current version is 8.0.13.

As for Xcode, the current version is 10.1 IIRC.
