Qt 5.15 for macOS 11 (ARM64)

fizzyade

've pushed my copy of qtbase where I've made a few amendments and additions to 5.15 to allow it to build using Xcode 12 for ARM.

It's on GitHub here:

Obviously this is an unsupported OS (macOS 11) and configuration, but may allow people to get a head start.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm also putting together a small app to produce a universal version of the libraries as well, it just takes the x86_64 and the arm64 builds and runs lipo to create the fat binaries. I'll push that when I'm done.

Hi,

Thanks for the sharing !

Did you consider upstreaming your work ?

No, Big Sur is obviously an unsupported platform (with it being a beta) and I doubt a patch would be accepted without full compatibility and changes etc for Big Sur.

There are a lot of API deprecation warnings while compiling and although these aren't an issue, it's not something I'm interested in fixing.

I was purely an exercise so that I could perform some tests.

Added the tool here, takes the 2 build folders (x86_64 and arm64) and produces a Universal Binary version of Qt.

You do not need to provide a fully warning free patch to get the discutions started.

It can be polished later (even by somebody else) and you will help people avoid duplicated effort :-)
