Unsolved OSX clang 64-bit release kit - qmake always generates "this project is using private headers"
-
I've been having some odd issues on OSX and trying to track them down, and I just noticed that when I run qmake I get the following warnings:
11:41:52: Running steps for project testApp... 11:41:52: Starting: "/Users/hans/Qt5.7.0/5.7/clang_64/bin/qmake" /Users/hans/Desktop/testApp/testApp/testApp.pro -r -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler Project MESSAGE: This project is using private headers and will therefore be tied to this specific Qt module build version. Project MESSAGE: Running this project against other versions of the Qt modules may crash at any arbitrary point. Project MESSAGE: This is not a bug, but a result of using Qt internals. You have been warned! 11:41:52: The process "/Users/hans/Qt5.7.0/5.7/clang_64/bin/qmake" exited normally. 11:41:52: Elapsed time: 00:00.
I do not get these warnings with my debug qmake call. I have never added anything related to private headers, and I even went through and make sure I used <QQuickItem> style of includes instead of <qquickitem.h> everywhere in that was the issue.
There's nothing in my .pro that includes or mentions anything private, so I am a loss as to know why this message keeps coming up?
Here's my .pro
TEMPLATE = app QT += qml quick # Windows, OSX, and linux use webengine win32 | macx | unix { QT += webengine } CONFIG += c++11 SOURCES += main.cpp \ IMLogger.cpp \ IMManager.cpp \ IMOptions.cpp \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Debug/FalsePlugin_Debug.cpp \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Diagnostics/FalsePlugin_Diagnostics.cpp \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Enrollment/FalsePlugin_Enrollment.cpp \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Profiles/FalsePlugin_Profiles.cpp \ IMCmdLineParser.cpp HEADERS += \ IMLogger.h \ IMManager.h \ IMOptions.h \ IIMPluginHost.h \ IMPlugins.h \ IMCmdLineParser.h \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Debug/FalsePlugin_Debug.h \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Diagnostics/FalsePlugin_Diagnostics.h \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Enrollment/FalsePlugin_Enrollment.h \ plugins/FalsePlugin_Profiles/FalsePlugin_Profiles.h \ RESOURCES += qml.qrc # Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model QML_IMPORT_PATH = # The application version VERSION = 0.1 # Define the preprocessor macro to get the application version in our application. DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\\\"$$VERSION\\\"
I google for this but couldn't see any reason why this would be affecting me...
BTW - I get the same warnings if I build release versions of the example Qt applications that shipped with Qt 5.7.
Thanks :)

Hi,
What if you remove the
qtquickcompiler
from CONFIG ? -
That makes those warning disappear.
Does that indicate a bug in Qt or some bad in my Qml?

Neither, it's a known limitation explained here.
