    Hi!

    I've recently started to use Qt (5.15.2) on my Mac (Mac OS Mojave). So it's my first question here.

    When I try to start a project on Terminal, it was the message that 'Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.8"' and stopped.
    I've installed SDK 8 from Oracle (8.281) and installed it. No errors but there is no Java icon in Settings.
    java –version
    command does not work
    (Error: Could not find or load main class –version).

    It seems to me that it's needed to do some magic passes but I have no idea which exactly...

    But I decided to try start Qt project anyway.
    Now the result of launch is like this:

    Last login: Tue Apr 13 11:56:12 on ttys000
    You have mail.
    /var/folders/yh/5cyx35gd07x734h568l3p_p00000gp/T/tmpDKGC31 ; exit;

    Macintosh:~ apple$ /var/folders/yh/5cyx35gd07x734h568l3p_p00000gp/T/tmpDKGC31 ; exit;
    Cannot connect creator comm socket /private/var/folders/yh/5cyx35gd07x734h568l3p_p00000gp/T/QtCreator.cOfnHp/stub-socket: No such file or directory
    Для закрытия данного окна нажмите <ВВОД>...

    logout
    Saving session...
    ...copying shared history...
    ...saving history...truncating history files...
    ...completed.

    It probably sees the JVM but 'not clear'.
    What is wrong and how to solve this issue, please?

    @loa3 You don't need Java if you target MacOS. For which exact platform do you want to build your app?

      @jsulm At the moment I study 'pure' C++ for use it for PLCs in future. So I need simple console program which use standard IO functions like cin/cout/file read/write.
      First time I launched projects into Qt without Terminal. But just simple cin does not work there.
      So I set up Launch in termenal checkbox as recommended on some resources. And it does not work.

        @loa3 What exact Qt version did you install? Is it possible that you installed Qt for Android (which requires Java)?
        Do you start your app from QtCreator?

            This only says what Qt version was used to build QtCreator, not which Qt version you are using for your project.

            What kind of project did you create?

                    @loa3 As I said: you need to check your Kit. In QtCreator go to "Tools/Options/Kits".

                      Tools seems to be menu item selected. But if yes I can not find something that means 'options'. there...

                        @loa3 Please search for Kit configuration in QtCreator settings (I don't have QtCreator with Russian menues). As far as I know on MacOS application settings are in the left menu entry ("Qt Creator" in this case)...

                                      Hi,

                                      Can you show your environment variables in the console ?
                                      What version of macOS are you running ?

                                        Hi,

                                        Can you show your environment variables in the console ?
                                        What version of macOS are you running ?

                                          I do not see anything overly suspicious there.

                                          How are you trying to create your project on the command line ?
