    Hi I am presently working on moving our GUI from windows build to Mac OS. The GUI was made with qt windows like a decade ago so we have decide to change our software to a new GUI and used qt quick tools instead and are done with the new update now. we have decided we would like to make a mac version of the software as well. So,right now the dependencies are mostly targeted to win32. And as we know those will not be supported by the mac. I am quite not familiar with the mac os as i am a developer always using the windows. The software uses ftdi, usb libraries for windows. how can i shift my software from Windows to Mac OS in a systematic way? how should i add my dependencies to the .pro file for mac?
    please help

          You can't as winapi is not available on Mac. You will need to replace those parts with something else.
