4. Build qt source for MAC OS problem with finding standart C++ include files (SOLVED)

Build qt source for MAC OS problem with finding standart C++ include files (SOLVED)


  • Hi,
    I am new to qt. Tried hard to build a static version of qt 4.8.5 on MAC OS X, but without success, please help.
    Clone from here: git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git to get version 4.8.5.
    ran configure below, which has the correct -I path to the standard C++ include folder that has file "new", but ./configure could not find file "new" when it tried to build qmake. It seems "configure" ignored -I.

    ./configure -confirm-license -developer-build -arch x86 -L "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/" -I "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.0.0" -I "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.0.0/x86_64-apple-darwin9/bits" -I "/usr/include" -I "/usr/local/include" -I "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include" -I "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include/gcc/darwin/4.2" -optimized-qmake -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -static -no-qt3support -no-nis -no-svg -no-phonon -no-stl -no-javascript-jit -no-accessibility -no-dwarf2 -no-xmlpatterns -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-webkit -no-cups -no-dbus -carbon -sdk "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" -prefix /Developer/qt-src-4.8.5/mybuilds

    Got these messages:
    Creating qmake. Please wait...

    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    You shouldn't need to add any path to the sdk's include path. configure should set everything for you. Re-run configure without all these additional paths (but first, cleanup everything)

    Also, why are you doing a developer build with a prefix ? That defeats the purpose of the developer build. Either use a prefix (and make install at the end) or do a developer build.

  • Thank you for reply. I did as you instructed, but the problem not finding string.h is now appears. I wanted prefix because I need to static builds to work with MAC SDKs (10.4 thru 10.7). I forgot to mention I did install pre-built 4.8.5 version, if this cause problem I will uninstall and try again. Do you think I should uninstall the pre-build first?

    I need your expertise as a qt consultant, so please send me an email and I will reply with a detailed description of my projects.

    Thank you,

    Which version of Xcode are you using ?

    You can already send me the detail through the email form on my profile.

    I would advise you to remove your email address from your post. It's not protected.

    I think I've found your problem

    @-sdk “/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk”@

    should be

    @-sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk@

    So your line should be something like:
    @./configure -confirm-license -developer-build -arch x86 -optimized-qmake -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -static -no-qt3support -no-nis -no-svg -no-phonon -no-stl -no-javascript-jit -no-accessibility -no-dwarf2 -no-xmlpatterns -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-webkit -no-cups -no-dbus -carbon -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk@

    And since you might be doing different builds, you should do an out of source build, so you only have the sources once.

  • I tried your way:
    ./configure -confirm-license -developer-build -arch x86 -optimized-qmake -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -static -no-qt3support -no-nis -no-svg -no-phonon -no-stl -no-javascript-jit -no-accessibility -no-dwarf2 -no-xmlpatterns -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-webkit -no-cups -no-dbus -carbon -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

    Same problem remains. But if I don't specify -sdk at all the build went further (configure completed no error), but after ran make for about 10 minuets, it halted with error,

    ./configure -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -static -no-qt3support -no-nis -no-svg -no-phonon -no-stl -no-javascript-jit -no-accessibility -no-dwarf2 -no-xmlpatterns -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-webkit -no-cups -no-dbus -carbon -prefix /Developer/qt-src-4.8.5/mybuilds/10.5SDK

  • I found the problem! All I had to do was uninstall xcodelegacy.sh (extract older Mac sdks and install to Xcode 4), then build qt. Life is good now. Thank you.

    You're welcome !

    Since you have it working now, please update your thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
