Hi and welcome to devnet,
Can you show the complete configure line ? By the way, you should add --nomake tests --nomake examples. You don't want any of them built.
-
thank you :-)
./configure --recheck-all --prefix=~/QT-static -static -release -nomake examples -nomake tests
im trying this at the moment.. it is compiling.. no idea if this will work this time using -j 1 - takes ages
-
and finally failed again.. hmmm.. any ideas ?

after adding -nomake tools compiling works.
after make install and moving it to the right position it still cannot activate this kit somehow...
once i start the creator the following appearsPerforming API discovery ...
C and C++ compiler paths differ. C compiler may not work.

Failed to set up kit for Qbs: Could not determine whether Qt is a static build. -
Did you do that from a clean source tree ? By the way, why
--nomake tools
?As I already wrote many times: use out of source builds so you can nuke it if something fails and start over quickly.

Tom:qt-build$ ~/Qt/5.10.0/Src/configure --prefix=/Users/Tom/Qt/5.10.0/clang_64-static -static -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -commercial
this is my configuration string. i am outside the Source tree (shadow build) and still, even with make -j 1 which takes almost 3 hours to compile (instead of 45mins -j 8) i still get the same error. i can only complete compile the KIT with --nomake tools but then i run into other problems with QTCreator because of that. The KIT is not recognized completely without tweaking. I really could need some help.

im going to try this configure string actually....
~/Qt/5.10.0/Src/configure --prefix=/Users/tom/Qt/5.10.0/clang_64-static -static -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -commercial -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-xcb -qt-xkbcommon -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz -platform macx-clang
-
after removing all packages (brew) with only wget left and the mentioned configure string it compiled...
somehow the kit does not get detected automatically. is this normal ?
-
Yes, you have to add it manually.

I know this topic is old, but I just built a static library for MacOS, and now I can't find it. According to the docs:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos-building.html
It should be in /usr/local, but it's not there. Where might it be? My configure command was:
configure -static -release -nomake examples -nomake tests -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-xkbcommon -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz -platform macx-clang
Thanks...

@mzimmers Did you try to search for it?
On Linux I would dofind / -name QT_LIB_NAME_HERE
-
Might be silly question but did you call
make install
after building ? -
-
@mzimmers On Mac "qmake" without ".exe" :-)
