    I was trying to compile Qt 5.10.0 for the macx-g++ platform, but I'm getting an error. Here are my configure parameters:

    configure -platform macx-g++ -prefix /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/ -static -opensource -confirm-license -make libs
    

    Here's the error:

    Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output
    

    Here's the full output:

    Scotts-MacBook-Pro:Qt5.10.0S scott$ ./configure -platform macx-g++ -prefix /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/ -static -opensource -confirm-license -make libs
    + cd qtbase
    + /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/qtbase/configure -top-level -platform macx-g++ -prefix /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/ -static -opensource -confirm-license -make libs
    Creating qmake...
    ...............................................................................................Done.
    Info: creating super cache file /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/.qmake.super
    Info: creating stash file /Users/scott/Qt/Qt5.10.0S/.qmake.stash
    Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output
    

    Can anybody suggest the cause of this error?

      Hi,

      IIRC, the macx-g++ mkspec is still present for historical reason. Don't use it.

      Let configure use the default which is clang that is also the official compiler from Apple.

        Thanks, I didn't know it was deprecated. I'll use Clang.

          Clang has become the default compiler since Xcode 4.2 and the only one available since 5.0.
