Q_ATOMIC_INT64_IS_SUPPORTED: Qt Compile errors on macOS

patrickkidd

I and one other from the qt-interest email list have seen the following compile errors when building a fresh qt source tarball on the latest macOS. Qt-version doesn't seem to matter.

What is strange is that clearing config.cache and then reconfiguring (using ./config.status) and building seems to succeed reliably. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I am using a couple of build scripts to build qt and it would be nice if it didn't fail.

The only thing I noticed in my config.log is that it reported that it could not find libatomic the first time around and that it could find lib atomic the second time around. This is very strange. Seems like a bug in the qt build system since nothing changed on my system between configure runs.

Hi,

What do you mean by latest macOS ?
What version of Xcode are you using ?

patrickkidd

@SGaist Latest stable macOS (10.14.5) and Xcode (10.2.1).

SGaist

Do you have any rogue .qmake.conf file lying in or around your build folder ?

patrickkidd

@SGaist said in Q_ATOMIC_INT64_IS_SUPPORTED: Qt Compile errors on macOS:

Do you have any rogue .qmake.conf file lying in or around your build folder ?

Shoot, you know I had a .qmake.stash file three folders up. I deleted that and now it totally works. I very vaguely remember something about this. Do you know how these files work???

SGaist

And it was the .stash file that I was thinking about.

AFAIK, they keep track of some configuration like the macOS SDK configured for building Qt however I haven't search precisely how and when that file is generated.
