Qt source build with -qtlibinfix, and -framework

[jabernathy]

I'm building Qt from source on MacOS using Sierra and High Sierra and I'm running to a problem where projects built with my build of Qt fail to compile.

The configure command that I'm using contains the -qtlibinfix ABC and -framework options:

./configure -prefix /home/Qt/abc -opensource -qtlibinfix ABC -framework ...

The Qt source project builds and installs correctly (via make and make install), but subsequent projects built with the installed qmake binary fail to compile.

Executing /home/Qt/abc/bin/qmake on a project file is successful, but there is a mismatch between the installed location of the Qt frameworks and the include paths sent to clang.

The installation paths of the Qt frameworks contain the qtlibinfix (ABC):

/home/Qt/abc/lib/QtConcurrentABC.framework
/home/Qt/abc/lib/QtCoreABC.framework
...

but the directories that are included with the qmake-generated builds do not:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ ... -I/home/Qt/abc/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Headers ...

Is this a bug or am I missing a step between running "make install" and "qmake"?

This is reproducible on numerous versions of Qt (5.7.0, 5.8.0, 5.10.0).

Thanks!

Here is a partial listing of the installed qt core lib project include file (mkspecs/modules/qt_lib_core.pri):

QT.core.VERSION = 5.10.0
QT.core.name = QtCore
QT.core.module = QtCoreWRI
QT.core.libs = $$QT_MODULE_LIB_BASE
QT.core.includes = $$QT_MODULE_LIB_BASE/QtCore.framework/Headers
QT.core.frameworks = $$QT_MODULE_LIB_BASE
QT.core.bins = $$QT_MODULE_BIN_BASE
QT.core.depends =
QT.core.uses = libatomic
QT.core.module_config = v2 lib_bundle
QT.core.CONFIG = moc resources
QT.core.DEFINES = QT_CORE_LIB

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Looks like it might be related to QTBUG-35604.

Thanks! It looks like the behaviour that I'm seeing is due to the bug that you've linked.

I'll build without frameworks.
