Hi, A few changes has been made in how we build Qt on Mac OS X that people should be aware of when building 5.1 from source:
- The '-sdk' option to configure now takes a named SDK, as reported by xcodebuild, eg. macosx, macosx10.7, iphoneos, etc -- not a path. This applies to QMAKE_MAC_SDK as well, so any pro file checks should be updated (outside of qtbase). - We always build against an SDK, as recommended by Apple, even if you're not passing -sdk explicitly. By default we choose the latest one provided by Xcode. - We use the Xcode-provided toolchain for eg. clang, g++, etc, instead of the tools in your PATH. These changes together allow us to trust the environment we're building against, whereas before you could have a mismatch between the Xcode installation and the developer tools installed in /usr that resulted in sneaky build breaks. It also allows us to provide Clang as an option when building on 10.6, as the choice is not dependent on the OSX version but the Xcode version (and hence toolchain availability). I will add some more checks to configure to verify that the Xcode installation is sane before we try using it, but for now you can check yourself using: xcrun g++ -v If it fails, run xcode-select --switch and point it to eg: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer Tor Arne _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
