depends: Qt fails to build on osx 10.9.5 #5353

Compilation is fine up until Qt. Which fails with,

make: *** [/bitcoin/depends/work/build/x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0/qt/5.2.1-8b85bf74239/qtbase/.stamp_configured] Error 1

I can't reproduce this.

The line in question comes from qt's configure: QT_VERSION=grep '^# *define *QT_VERSION_STR' "$relpath"/src/corelib/global/qglobal.h

Edit: $relpath is: defined above as: relpath=dirname $0 relpath=(cd "$relpath"; /bin/pwd) @fanquake is it possible that you have some odd version of grep installed that may be the root cause of some of your problems?

@theuni I've found the cause. Not a bitcoin issue.

I spoke to soon.

As far as i know this is a common Qt issue when building Qt on 10.10. Try to install Qt over homebrew. You can also install multiple Qt Versions like Qt.4.8 and Qt 5.2.x. Homebrew supports version switching over symlinks (check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3987683/homebrew-install-specific-version-of-formula).

Because it's a Qt Bug i think this can be closed.

@jonasschnelli I'm building on 10.9.5. My regular build does use homebrew (5.3.2) without issue. The build that is failing is for the depends system..

@fanquake You'll need to specify an older SDK, it looks like QT doesn't like building with 10.10. IIRC there's a configure option in qt's build for that. Something like -sdk 10.9.

I suppose we should hard-code the SDK that gets used for the depends system, but that's tough on native OSX builds, because it may not exist. For example, 10.7 sdk which we currently use for releases isn't likely to be installed on 10.10 systems.

This is fixed here: https://github.com/theuni/bitcoin/commit/8682f2fe2e5bb4fff9e3a0b8a29b1504ca5c30c6

It contains the upstream fix, backported to 5.2.1: https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/commit/70e4428b6f1c6a4bad112203f67ee7d22107616c.patch

Nice. Tested Fixed.
