Making Qt visible from Mac OS X command line

Mark92630

Installed 5.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.11.5.

Purpose is to be able to compile someone else's program, that lists Qt as a requirement.

I can run Qt Creator by double-clicking in Finder on /Users/<myusername>/Qt/Qt Creator

But, if I launch Terminal and enter:

$ qmake

I get an error message:

-bash: qmake: command not found

How should I make Qt visible from the command line?

TIA,

Mark

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can simply use the full path to qmake e.g. ~/Qt/5.6.1/clang_64/bin/qmake or you can edit your .profile file and add the path to the binaries folder to PATH there.

I'd recommend number 1 so you always know which version of Qt you call, especially if you are using several builds of it.

Hope it helps
