      Hey I am in need of building a program with the 4.8 libraries on my mac, I have successfully downloaded and installed Qt 5.3 and I have downloaded the 4.8 libraries (not the debug). I am just not sure what I am supposed to do to add the libraries.

      All help is very much appreciated,
      Evan Simmons

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        Go to the preferences, build and run, Qt Versions, add your 4.8 version there, once done, go to Kits, create a new kit and use the 4.8 version you just added. Next go to your project and add that kit, build, run, enjoy :)

          So when I download the 4.8 library it is a .dmg file, am I supposed to run this? it contains a bunch of .pkg files. when I do run it, its acts like it is trying to install but there are no installation files to be found.

            Yes, the dmg must be opened and the pkg files are installers. What do you mean by no installation files to be found ?

              I mean, I know my computer is installing something when I run the qt.mpkg file, however I can not locate any files after it says its finished installing, there for when i go to preferences >build and run > and I try to ad v4.8, I can not locate v4.8 or any files that could be associated with v4.8. I can go to user/name/ qt/qt5.3.2 however there is nothing similar for v4.8

                  The Qt 4 series has a different installation layout. Use spotlight to find qmake and check in which path it can be found, then go to the same path from the dialog in Qt Creator

                    I have found qmake . If you look at the video at 6:15 it is in that folder, it is just not an option to select. it is located just as it should be according to the install info.

                      You found the link to qmake, qmake is somewhere in /usr/. IIRC local/bin but I may wrong, you have to go in the right folder. Take a look at the link properties to get the path to qmake
