Unable to do static build from Qt source on MAC

[vyau]

Dear All: I am trying to do a static build of Qt source. This seems to be needed by macqtdeploy (I am trying to package my app as a bundle).
I did

configure -prefix ./qtbase -opensource -static -nomake tests

when I did "make" after that, I ran into some compilation issues on Mac. (I had no
issue doing this on Linux). I am using Qt-everywhere-src-5.11.2.

Any tip how I can build Qt from source on MAC?
Thanks

Hi,

There's absolutely no requirements for a static build of Qt on macOS. macdeployqt was created to fix your application bundle with the various frameworks your application needs.

As for your error, what version of MySQL are you using to build the plugin ?

[vyau]

Ok, good to know that about macdeployqt.
I still hope to get a static build going on Mac.

I do not have any MySQL installed. Should I?
And if so, I use the -sql-driver flag for configure?

[SGaist]

Since the build is failing for the MySQL plugin, you likely have it somewhere configure found.

[vyau]

i will check on that in a bit.

I have since borrowed another Mac and tried to compile same Qt version statically.

And I got different errors. Do you know what this one is about?

What version of Xcode are you using ?

[vyau]

I am using Xcode 7.3.1

[SGaist]

You are going to have to update. That version of Xcode is too old to build such a recent version of Qt. Or at least the platform plugin part.

[vyau]

ok, I think I need to upgrade OS as well.

@SGaist
I am using MySQL 8.0.12. It is installed by Brew on my Mac

Is this version too old hence the error?

[SGaist]

Current version if macOS Mojave.

[SGaist]

IIRC, you need Qt 5.12. MySQL removed the use of the my_bool type at some point. The plugin has been updated.

[vyau]

@SGaist thanks

[vyau]

To summarize, I have oudated Xcode and Mysql :)

[SGaist]

Your MySQL is not outdated as the current version is 8.0.13.

As for Xcode, the current version is 10.1 IIRC.
