setting up build environment on mac

[richardwilliamson]

Hello

Am trying to set up a build environment on my mac with xcode - I have installed QT and managed to link the libraries, but I still can't get the app to build, I am now getting QtGui/QApplication not found - any ideas what I need to do in my build path etc to get this working!?

Thanks!

Richard

Hey Richard,

Alas... getting the build environment is almost as difficult as writing the app itself. I will try to post some step-by-step instructions on the later.

I built this with Qt 4.8.1, XCode 7.2, OSX 10.11

Thanks Chris - and thanks for fixing the broadcast thing. I think half my problem was that I had installed the newer version of QT. It looks like a lot of the QT’s locations are hard-coded, so I think I need to create a /Developer/tools folder and put some stuff in there, otherwise my Xcode project won’t play nicely.

I’m about to board a plane but submitted a pull request for something I did last night (you are correct in that I found it easier to follow your code and add a feature (maybe badly!) than to get QT to work!)

Great app by the way! Literally perfect timing for a project I’m working on

Richard

Managed to get my computer to build finally! It's a little buggy but..

• installed homebrew
• installed QT (brew install QT)
• Edited the build phases to point to the moc in the location brew puts it /usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.7_2/bin/moc)
• Copied the QT libraries from the brew folder to /Libraries/Frameworks

I get some errors but the build seems to work!
