Help needed: any Apple users around ?

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

I need the help from somebody who has an Apple running OSX.

In our FindQt4.cmake in kdelibs/cmake/modules/ there was code for special
handling when Qt is installed as frameworks on OSX.
This code was there since beginning of 2006, and I am quite sure it is not
necessary anymore, so I removed it and committed the modified version to
kdelibs trunk.

So, if you have an Apple machine running OSX and you have Qt installed as a
framework, please try to build kdelibs fresh from an empty build dir and let
me know whether it could successfully find the Qt frameworks.

If this is too much work, there is a simpler way to check that.
Just unpack the attached file and run cmake on it. At the end it should say
which QtCore it found. On my Linux machine this looks like:

~/src/tests/findqt4-test/b$ /opt/cmake-2.6.2-Linux-i386/bin/cmake ..
-- The C compiler identification is GNU
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU
...
-- QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY is : "/opt/qt-4.5/qt/lib/libQtCore.so;-lpthread"
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/alex/src/tests/findqt4-test/b
~/src/tests/findqt4-test/b$ cd ..


On your Mac with frameworks it should show that it found the framework.
Please let me know whether it still works for you.

Thanks
Alex

Hi Alexander,

I'm getting this on Mac OS X 10.5 having Qt-4.5.2 (and KDE 4.3.0) installed
through MacPorts.

Sonic:build heike$ cmake ../

Hope this helps... I haven't too much knowledge about how this works on MacOS.

Cheers,
Michael

I'm attaching the output of CMake 2.6.4 + Qt 4.6 beta 1 on Mac OS X
10.6.2, and the output of CMake 2.8.0rc6 + Qt 4.6 beta 1 on Mac OS X
10.6.2. Qt4 was installed using the installer provided by Trolltech.

This probably means it's not installed as a framework.
Does e.g. the directoy QtCore.framework exist under /Library/Frameworks/
(or in any other place) ?

They are installed in /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/ and symlinked from
various places such as /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/ or
/opt/local/var/macports/software/qt4-mac/4.5.2_1/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/

macports' Qt installed /opt/local/bin/qmake-mac, not qmake, for the binary
name, so you'll have to symlink it to qmake, for it to be found by standard
mechanisms.

After symlinking qmake-mac to qmake everything worked fine. Here is the
output:

...

Thanks for the testing :-)
