Unsolved Compiling Qt 5.6 on MacOSX 10.15.2
-
Hi all,
I am fairly new to OSX so please bare with me.
I am trying to compile an older application that requires qt 5.6 on my Catalina 10.15.2 system. I was able to do this on other systems previously that were on OSX 10.11 and 10.14 but I am struggling with 10.15.
The final application targets OSX 10.9 +.I have :
- downloaded qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.3 package.
- updated the qtbase/mkspecs/macx-clang/qmake.conf with:
QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.9 - set MINIMUM_SDK_VERSION of XCode 10.11 (Since I know this worked on the other system)
The configuration goes fine but when I build, I am mainly getting a bunch of deeper SDK errors in the like of:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Headers/Processes.h:412:34: note: expanded from macro 'MacGetCurrentProcess' #define MacGetCurrentProcess GetCurrentProcess ^ qcocoahelpers.mm:547:6: error: functions that differ only in their return type cannot be overloaded void qt_mac_drawCGImage(CGContextRef inContext, const CGRect *inBounds, CGImageRef inImage) /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/Components.h:593:1: note: 'CloseComponent' has been explicitly marked deprecated here CloseComponent(ComponentInstance aComponentInstance) __OSX_AVAILABLE_BUT_DEPRECATED(__MAC_10_0, __MAC_10_8, __IPHONE_NA, __IPHONE_NA); ^ qcocoahelpers.mm:689:5: error: call to 'qt_mac_drawCGImage' is ambiguous qt_mac_drawCGImage(ctx, &rect, image); ~~~~ ^
I know that this is officially not supported, but 10.14 wasn't either. Is there a way around it or am I missing something? Apple won't let me install any other older versions of the Command Line Tools, so I am running out of idea.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi
I not into MacOS so i cant give any hints how to get 10.15 working, however,
just wanted note that you could use a virtual machine with 10.11/10.14
and do it that way.https://techsviewer.com/install-macos-10-14-mojave-virtualbox-windows/
This is on windows, but works the same in macOS. (as far as i know)
Virtualbox is also for macOS so you can do this with no cost. (except a little time)
but this way you wont ruin your normal setup and its easy to keep for later.
