Qt + GCC 4.9 Macports + openmp (MAC - Mavericks)

Neogene

Hi all,

if someone could help me because it's the first time i'm using Qt and i'm trying to configure Qt to use in a OpenCV project which uses also openmp, i want to use this tool to develop a cross platform GUI .

step 1) To use OpenMP on Mavericks i used macports which installed GCC 4.9 (gdb too) into /opt/local/bin /lib /inlcude

step 2)I downloaded and installed QT, it installed the Kit with QT 5.2.1 clang 64 bit.

step 3) i added the -fopenmp to the compiler and the linker

The .pro file is the following:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
INCLUDEPATH += /opt/local/lib
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -fopenmp
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -fopenmp
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-std=c++11
SOURCES += main.cpp

step 4) I created a Manual Compiler configuration in the Compilers tab, which points to /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.9 and a Debuggers configuration too which points to /opt/local/bin/ggdb.

step 5) i created in the Manual kit tab a custom one:

Device type: Desktop
Device: Local PC
Sysroot: empty
Compiler: GCC 4.9 (the one created manually inside the Compilers tab)
Debugger: GGDB (the one created manually inside the Devuggers tab)
QT version: the only available seems to be Qt 5.2.1 clang 64bit

ERROR 1: There is a red alert icon next to the Kits i created which disappears when i turn off the Qt version setting it to None (but i need to use it).

ERROR 2: compile output:

@Starting: "/opt/local/bin/gmake"
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/g++ -c -pipe -fopenmp -std=c++11 -g -gdwarf-2 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -Wall -W -fPIE -I../../../../Qt/5.2.1/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-g++ -I../OpenCV1 -I/opt/local/lib -I. -o main.o ../OpenCV1/main.cpp
@

Seems that even if i configured to use the g++ inside the opt/ folder it is not used and the Xcode one is always used.

Build Steps about qmake:

@qmake /Users/Neogene/Documents/Lavori/QT/OpenCV1/OpenCV1.pro -r -spec macx-g++ CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=x86@

Make: Override /usr/bin/make: /opt/local/bin/gmake

ERROR 3: the autocomplete exposes the correct path of the #include <omp.h> but when compiling it doesn't find the omp.h file, maybe this is due the the wrong compiler used (the Xcode one vs the GCC macports one)

#include <iostream>
#include <omp.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World QT!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Somebody could tell me why? thank you in advance.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Because Qt is configured to use the mkspec for clang. If you want to use another one you will need to tell it by hand

Neogene

Im' trying to compile the QT by scratch using the gcc flag but it fails, i'm hoping to find a solution.

Can you post the errors you are getting ?

Neogene

sudo ./configure -platform macx-g++42 -qt-xcb

note: the -qt-xcb is due to the error: _
The test for linking against libxcb and support libraries failed! You might need to install dependency packages, or pass -qt-xcb._

gives a couple of

xcrun: error: unable to find utility "g++-4.2", not a developer tool or in PATH

g++ (MacPorts gcc49 4.9-20140416_0) 4.9.0 20140416 (prerelease)

sending command: gcc --version

SGaist

Never use sudo for this kind of task

You don't have g++4.2 but 4.9, you need to create your own mkspec for 4.9. You can copy the 4.2 and update it's content to use your macport gcc.

Since you're running OS X, xcb doesn't make sense. Let the default value to start

Neogene

Ok, i duplicated the macx-g++42 to macx-g++49, edited the quake.conf setting

QMAKE_CC = gcc-mp-4.9
QMAKE_CXX = g++-mp-4.9

Next error is:

SGaist

Right, because macx-g++ is for Apple's gcc, check the Darwin mkspec

Neogene

Mmmmm next one:

switching to darwin-g++ mkspec i had to modify the qmake.conf

adding the flag QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx
replcaing the cc/c++ values to gcc-mp-49 and g++-mp-4.9,

the error now is due to the fact that -mmacosx-version-min= isn't filled with the correct value (third row of next log)

g++-mp-4.9: error: missing argument to '-mmacosx-version-min='

SGaist

Probably missing: QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.6

Neogene

Yes works but it reaches the same error before:

g++-mp-4.9: error: unrecognized command line option '-fconstant-cfstrings'

SGaist

Then you need to comment the lines containing that in features/qt_module.prf

Beware that you are entering unsupported territory. Qt for OS X is tested only with Apple's compilers.

Neogene

I'ts a pity cause this make quite hard to use openmp and qt on mac.

I removed the macx-g++ {
QMAKE_CFLAGS += -fconstant-cfstrings
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -fconstant-cfstrings
}

block from the qt_module.prf but running again the ./configure doesn't seem to know this change.

I modified instead the configure script commenting the following line
#echo "CARBON_CFLAGS =-fconstant-cfstrings" >>"$mkfile"

after calling ./configure again it sticks to

Did you completely clean before calling configure again ?

CamelFrog

Hi,

I also would like to use openmp with qt on mac, Yosemite 10.10. Did you manage to solve your issue with GCC 4.9 or any other compiler?
