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

[vincentdoan]

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:

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.

[vincentdoan]

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?

[vincentdoan]

SGaist,

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,

Vincent

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.

[vincentdoan]

I failed to send email thru your profile. Please send me an email through regular channel.

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.

[vincentdoan]

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

[vincentdoan]

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.

[SGaist]

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 :)
