-platform macx-g++40 ignored in configure

rickbkis

configure with g++42 fails with a long chain of errors.

It works with g++40, but if I specify '-platform macx-g++40' in the configure line, it still uses macx-g++. Am I specifying something incorrectly?

To work around, I've copied the macx-g++40 mkspec into macx-g++, so it always uses the 40 compiler.

Thoughts appreciated.

This works for me:

@
configure -platform macx-g++40
@

And it starts creating qmake with

@
Creating qmake. Please wait...
g++-4.0 -c -o project.o -pipe ... project.cpp
@

This works on a 10.5 and on a 10.6 machine.

You might also consider adding

@
-sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
@

to the configure line, as gcc 4.2 is only available from OS X 10.5 an onwards and your programs cannot be deployed to 10.4 when compiled with gcc 4.2.

Interesting. doesn't work for me. I'm on OS X 10.6. I'm using xcode 3.2.5.

Here's my config line:

./configure -platform macx-g++40 -carbon -universal -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -prefix $DEVTOOLS/Qt-47-carbonu -debug-and-release -qt3support -sql-sqlite -plugin-sql-sqlite -platform macx-g++ -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libtiff -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -nomake examples -nomake demos -rpath

When it fires up, it does g++ - no g++40.

I have the very same environment here.

Do you use the source package of the Qt Framework libs or do you recompile a binary distribution? (I do the former)

rickbkis

I do a source pull from gitorious, set the branch to 47-stable.

I wouldn't think that should matter in this regard....

It should be the same as the downloadable source package, right.

If it still goes wrong, I would recommend to open a bug report on the "bug tracker":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com
