I downloaded 2 repositories, bitcoin/bitcoin and sipa/bitcoin.

I can compile fine with bitcoin/bitcoin, but not sipa/bitcoin/

Here is the steps: ./autogen.sh ./configure

Here is the error message got form sipa/bitcoin: checking if qt should be enabled... configure: error: "qt support requested but qt could not be located. use --without-qt"

I am using online free licensed QT Creator. After I saw the error, I deleted QT Creator and reinstalled it.

I am using Mac OS 10.11.1.

any suggestion/comment is appreciated. thanks.

Why do you want to compile sipa/bitcoin(it's full of bugs anyways. :P)? If you checkout sipas bitcoin repository, checkout an active branch (maybe segwit4). His master branch is not really in-sync (This branch is 114 commits ahead, 619 commits behind bitcoin:master.)

Yes, switched to segwit4. There is no problem compiling then.

I am trying to read code change for segwit4. Thanks a lot for your help.

@mizhang Good to hear. You may want to close the issue, if there are no further problems.

Just a note: You can run git branch -v to see which commit git has checked out for you.
