Can't find source file when building on Mac

kitfox

I have an app I've been developing on a windows machine, and am now trying to see if I can get it to compile on Mac. However, when I try to build within Qt Creator on Mac, I get an error message:

:-1: error: No rule to make target `math/BezierCurve.cpp', needed by `BezierCurve.o'. Stop.

This file exists in the subdirectory where it ought to be, and the build process seems to be able to find other files. The first time I tried to compile, the /math directory was missing, but even after adding it, this keeps happening.

How would I get Qt to find this file?

Hi,

Are you using the same casing in your .pro file as the file name you show ?

kitfox

@SGaist Yes, the case matches.

SGaist

What if you add $$PWD/ before all your sources/header paths ?

kitfox

Prepending that to math/BezierCurve.cpp in the .pro file let me get past that error and to the real issue causing the problem - an included file has not included <math.h>. One I fixed that, I didn't need the $$PWD/ anymore.

Good

Since you have it building now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum uses may know a solution has been found :)
