    This is probably a very low priority issue, but I still wanted to let you know about it.

    When I try to run the

    `./configure --with-gui=qt5

    The installation errors out, the final lines of the output are:

    ...
    checking miniupnpc/upnperrors.h presence... yes
    checking for miniupnpc/upnperrors.h... yes
    checking for main in -lminiupnpc... (cached) yes
    **configure: error: Qt dependencies not found**
    
    

    When I run it without the --with-gui=qt5 option, it works fine.

    I did install the dependencies as suggested in /doc/build-osx.md `brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5

    I did post this on stack exchange as well.

    Please post config.log file somewhere.

    Try to uninstall "macports" (if you had it installed once), try to reinstall "homebrew". Then call brew install qt5 and try it again.

    @paveljanik : I've since installed it without the '--with=qt5' option and its been working fine. I wonder if this would have changed the config.log file, but regardless I am attaching it here. I did try to find the error 'qt dependencies not found' in it but couldn't locate them. @jonasschnelli : You are probably right. I did have Bitcoin-Qt installed before from the downloads link on bitcoin.org website. But since everything is working now, I'm not sure I'll be able to replicate it.

    Can I just close this ticket? If anyone else runs into this issue this comment thread I am sure will help them.

    Closing. People will also look at closed tickets if they run into the same problem.
