   I’m unable to build QT tests when using the depends system on macOS. I can build the tests fine without using depends. With depends, I can build QT and run all functional tests, using --disable-tests.

    0cd depends
    1make
    2cd ..
    3./configure --prefix=/Users/bitcoin/dev/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0

   I’ve not been able to recreate this on macOS 10.13.6, 1ef57a9, using:

   0./autogen.sh
   1./configure --prefix=/Users/michael/GitHub/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
   2make check -j5
   3test/functional/test_runner.py
   

   All tests pass successfully.

   One possibly related Qt patch I’ve found is https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/221071/.

   This problem went away for me as well, I was able to build depends on master today.
