Re: [qmc2-devel] New QT 4.8 paths cause MacOS build issues

[R. R. <ren...@ba...>]

Hi,

I found out that qmake from Nokia binary version some works differently than 
my self-compiled version.

This is with Nokia's qmake:

dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ make configure
Configuring build of QMC2 v0.36
qmake -makefile -o Makefile.qmake  VERSION=0.36 QMC2_MINGW=0 TARGET=qmc2-
sdlmame CONFIG+=warn_off CONFIG+=release  QT+=opengl QT+=phonon        
'DEFINES+=QMC2_VERSION=0.36 QMC2_SVN_REV=3817 BUILD_OS_NAME=Darwin 
BUILD_OS_RELEASE=10.8.0 BUILD_MACHINE=i386 PREFIX=/usr/local 
DATADIR="/Library/Application:Support" 
SYSCONFDIR="/Library/Application:Support" QMC2_JOYSTICK=1 QMC2_OPENGL=0 
QMC2_ARCADE_OPENGL=1 QMC2_PHONON=1 QMC2_FADER_SPEED=500 QMC2_XWININFO=xwininfo 
QMC2_SDLMAME QMC2_MAC_UNIVERSAL=0 QMC2_VARIANT_LAUNCHER

QMC2_BROWSER_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED QMC2_WC_COMPRESSION_ENABLED 
QMC2_YOUTUBE_ENABLED QMC2_ALTERNATE_FSM' qmc2.pro

dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ ls -al Makefile*

As you can see, it creates the 'Makefile.qmake.xcodeproj' folder which it 
isn't supposed to do...

My version, however, does it correctly:

dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ rm -r Makefile.qmake.xcodeproj/

dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ export PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.1/bin:$PATH

dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ make configure

-rw-r--r--  1 rene  staff  74470 May 10 22:34 Makefile.qmake

So that's the actual reason why it works for me and not for you!

This is how I configured Qt when I compiled it myself:

./configure -fast -opensource -release -cocoa -phonon -nomake examples -nomake 
demos

Nothing special, to be honest, but somehow Nokia's binary still forces you to 
use XCode(build), mine doesn't. Confusing!

So I guess that building Qt from source is the only way to get that going...

Have fun, René
