'make deploy' fails on OSX 10.12.5 #10620

Trying to compile Bitcoin on a new machine and followed the usual steps at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md. make works fine but when make deploy is attempted it fails with the following error:

$ make deploy
build-aux/install-sh -c -d Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents
build-aux/install-sh -c -d Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/Resources
build-aux/install-sh -c -d Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/Resources

build-aux/install-sh -c -d Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 share/qt/Info.plist Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/Info.plist
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C src qt/bitcoin-qt
  OBJCXXLD qt/bitcoin-qt
ld: entry point (_main) undefined. for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [qt/bitcoin-qt] Error 1
make: *** [src/qt/bitcoin-qt] Error 2

Not entirely sure how to address this, any help is much appreciated!

Make deploy works fine on my OSX 10.12 machine. Idea: do you have Qt installed (brew install qt5)? If so, can you post debug.log config.log

Does make compile qt/bitcoin-qt?

Already have qt5 installed via brew 👍 I'm seeing Bitcoin-Qt in the root folder after make deploy but its attributed as an invalid application (question mark icon) and its only 922Kb and cannot be run. Since I can't actually execute the built .app I can't provide any debug.log output unless maybe there's a flag I can pass to the compiler for more info?

Argh. Meant config.log. Make pastbin that and the output of a plain make.

Aha that I can do :) config.log : https://pastebin.com/PZ5UqgLq. Thanks for your help!

config.log looks okay. Can you post the output of a make V=1?

make V=1 doesn't output much since it executes without issue (nothing to be done).make deploy V=1 included some more output:

$ make deploy V=1
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C src qt/bitcoin-qt

If you'd like me to make clean and then make V=1 just let me know.

Still really struggling with this, forcing me to use my older machine to put together .app releases. Is there any further info I could provide to assist in debugging this? TIA!

@dwasyluk Can you still reproduce this? I can't using https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/0e707919f596c80056bca295abd71543ccae4956 and OS X 10.12.6.

@dwasyluk Good for me on 62fdf9b07087b80d2142799bdd2324f61483359d and OS X 10.12.6

Closing, please re-open if this is still an issue.

@dwasyluk did you ever figure this out?
