    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    Mavericks is known for bringing a lot of trouble, can you build Qt from sources ? If so go for 5.2 and you should be good to go

      Hi SGaist, thank you for your suggestion. I tried building Qt5 by following the instructions at http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git, but as I do:
      ./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests
      I get the same initial error about missing stddef.h.
      Any idea? Thank you again!

        I just made a fresh build of the latest qt5 stable (all submodule on stable also) and no problem.

        What version of Xcode are you using ?

          I am using Xcode 5, and I also installed related Command line tools.

          I am trying to build Qt5.2 by running ./configure. I accept LGPL license conditions. Qmake starts being created and then I get:

          @.../qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0/qtbase/include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/global/qglobal.h:46:10: fatal error:
          'stddef.h' file not found
          #include <stddef.h>
          ^
          1 error generated.
          make: *** [project.o] Error 1@

          It looks like I am missing some entry in PATHS, but how come this happens? And how can I fix this? (sorry for my basic questions)

            Just to be sure, which sources did you download ? The zip or the tar.gz ?

              Sorry for my delayed response! I am using the tar.gz, in particular:

              qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0.tar.gz

                I know you said that you "correctly installed Xcode 5 and related Command Line", but Qt5.2 compiled out-of-the-box for me on 10.9+Xcode5.0.2. (5.1.1 was a lot of trouble to build)
                Can you make sure?

                @printf "#include <stddef.h>\nint main(){}" > tmp.cpp ; c++ tmp.cpp@

                does that work?

                  Thank you for your idea sandy. I can actually compile it. I also successfully run:

                  @gcc tmp.cpp@

                  and

                  @clang tmp.cpp@

                  Maybe the problem is all in the .pro file? If so, how can I let ./configure find the proper path for stddef.h? Thanks again

                    Strange, like I said, I've struggle for 5.1.1, but 5.2 compiled with no problems, I used:
                    "./configure -debug-and-release -nomake examples ; make"

                    You posted the error, can you post the cmd-line that caused it? That is the one that invoke the compiler. Should be in the terminal after you run make.

                      This is what I run and all the resulting output i get:

                      @ucmarmbp:qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0 ucmar$ ./configure -debug-and-release -nomake examples ; make

                        Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?

                      Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
                      Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.

                      o

                      This is the Qt Open Source Edition.
