I had some problems with the OSX compile on 10.9 using Xcode 4.3.6 (Apple switched compilers, and lots of things broke.) compiling when using the configure flag --enable-macosx-distr fails.
One of the errors looks like this: -- g++ -ISystem -ISystem/Boot -ISystem/Classes -ISystem/Files -ISystem/Link -ISystem/Misc -ISystem/Language -IKernel/Abstractions -IKernel/Containers -IKernel/Types -IData/Convert -IData/Drd -IData/History -IData/Observers -IData/Document -IData/String -IData/Tmfs -IData/Tree -IScheme -IGraphics/Bitmap_fonts -IGraphics/Fonts -IGraphics/Gui -IGraphics/Mathematics -IGraphics/Renderer -IGraphics/Handwriting -IGraphics/Types -IGraphics/Pictures -IGraphics/Spacial -IPlugins -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/opt/local/share/qt4/mkspecs/macx-g++ -I. -I. -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/Headers -I. -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/Headers -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers -I/opt/local/include -F/opt/local/Library/Frameworks -F/opt/local/lib -DQTTEXMACS -Wall -Wno-return-type -O2 -fno-rtti -INONE/include -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -DMACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 -c ./Plugins/MacOS/HIDRemote.m -o Objects/HIDRemote.o cc1obj: warning: command line option "-fno-rtti" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for ObjC <built-in>:0: warning: Mac OS X version 10.5 or later is needed for use of the new objc abi In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:161, from /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Headers/Cocoa.h:12, from ./Plugins/MacOS/HIDRemote.h:56, from ./Plugins/MacOS/HIDRemote.m:52: /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSUserNotification.h:16: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘}’ before ‘__attribute__’ make[1]: *** [Objects/HIDRemote.o] Error 1 -- (the problem only occurs when the -mmacosx-version-min= flag is used) If you google this type of error, you'll see that many projects encountered the problem. It could be that updating to a new version of QT will fix the problem. A fix that worked for me is following: http://www.cocoawithlove.com/2009/09/building-for-earlier-os-versions-in.html and adding -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk to the CXX_FLAGS and BFLAGS. MacOSX10.7.sdk worked for me for compiling with min version 10.4, but I haven't actually checked the result on 10.4 -- I don't have earlier versions of the sdk installed on my system. I'm also not sure that the path to the sdk will always be the same - on my system it is in the Xcode app, but the web site above had it in /Developer/SDKs So, I'm not sure what is the best way to fix the configure script. But, using this change, configure --enable-macosx-distr --enable-macosx-extensions --enable-qtpipes --enable-pdf-renderer make MACOS_PACKAGE finished successfully.
