Error to build with Static Qt 5.6.3 on Mac

[Linggo]

Download the source code of qt5.6.3

• http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.6/5.6.3/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.3.tar.xz

Compile error, command as follows

./configure -static -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -prefix ~/Qt/5.6.3_static_osx -qt-sql-sqlite -plugin-sql-sqlite -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -opensource -confirm-license -opengl -qt-freetype

Make error, modify the qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa/qcocoahelpers.mmfile before execution

Perform make is not an error, but make install error

How do I compile correctly？

Hi,

What version of macOS and Xcode are you using ?
Why are you trying to build such an outdated version of Qt ?

[Linggo]

@SGaist hello,Sorry for the late reply。

• The Mac version is MACOSX Sierra 10.12.6

• Xcode is version 9.2

• Because of the unified version of Mac and Windows, 5.6.3 should be used for Windows compatible with xp

@SGaist error is as follows

/Users/shandikeji/Desktop/Qt/QtStatic/5.6.3/src/qtconnectivity/src/bluetooth/osx/osxbtledeviceinquiry.mm:205:33: error: 
      cannot initialize a variable of type 'const CBCentralManagerState' with an
      rvalue of type 'CBManagerState'

[SGaist]

Then maybe a silly question but are you using the Qt Connectivity module for your application ?
If not then don't build it.

On a side note, why are you doing a custom build of Qt ?

[Linggo]

@SGaist you mean to remove the superfluous build like this
./configure -static -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -prefix ~/Qt/qt5.6.3/5.6.3/clang_64/ -opensource -confirm-license

I'm sorry that I didn't quite understand what you said about a custom build of Qt

@SGaist

After making the changes, the compilation succeeded. The changes are as follows

• qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/mac/qfontengine_coretext.mm
  
• qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa/qcocoahelpers.h
  
• qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa/qcocoahelpers.mm

Good !

Since you have it building now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

@SGaist Thank you very much for the tip
