Linker error with crt on OS X

[Lukas Woodtli]

I have a Qt Creator project (qmake) that contains a lot of C code (*.c files).
I managed to compile the files. But linking is not working.
The linker complains about crt1.10.6.o

ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.6.o

The main part of the build output:

11:56:01: Starte "/usr/bin/make"

I'm on Mac OS X 10.11.2
using Qt 5.5.0

Thx

I managed to fix this problem.
There are two different aproaches:

1. change qdevice.pri (<Qt_dir>/5.5/clang_64/mkspecs/qdevice.pri)
   add

QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.11
QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.11

or
2. Change project file (*.pro)
add

macx {
  # Build against latest platform SDK, deployable on OS X 10.8
  QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.11
  QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.11
}

Cheers
