Can not install qt 6.4.2

@SGaist I got the same issue. How to try another mirror?

? Offline

I know this is not really helpful, but all I can say is I successfully installed Qt6.4.2 on Mac.

I'm not 100% certain this was Tuesday evening, but if not this was Wednesday morning. So if there's a problem with Qt's repository (and there's now 3 posts suggesting for a problem, all later from my install), it's really recent problem.

@thamht4190 take a look at this wiki page.

I could finally installed Qt 6.4.2 after restarting my Mac. I've been required to update before adding Qt 6.4.2, so I guess after updating, my computer must restart to continue the work.

@bhargavah It doesn't look like you're calling Qt installer. Try:

./installer --mirror http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/download.qt-project.org

@jsulm Hey. How do I get this ./installer. I do not have this in my machine at all.

I was trying to download the online installer from:
https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer
And then 'Qt Online Installer for macOS'.

This is getting confusing to me now.

Questions like:

If I need to install Qt through installer, I download the file and it starts an gui. It gives the errors which is pasted at the original question. You suggested me to change the mirror. And that too with ./installer. How do I get this installer?

jsulm

@bhargavah On MacOS do the following:

Extract content of the installer (double click on the downloaded install dmg file and copy its content to somewhere
Go to the folder where extracted installer content is located
Execute: qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.5.2-online.app/Contents/MacOS/qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.5.2-online --mirror YOUR_MIRROR

@jsulm Thanks a lot man! I am able to have Qt in my machine finally. Cheers!

@bhargavah We can close this topic. Issue was the mirror itself. I think QT scripts should pick the scripts themselves in case a mirror is not available. Shouldn't they automate?

jsulm

@bhargavah I think there is a change request somewhere in https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/Dashboard.jspa for that
