View Full Version : Compiling Linux project on Mac

Hi All,

I've got a small project which I coded using KDevelop on Linux.

I'm trying to get it to compile on an Intel Mac, but I am totally lost :-(

i Have XCode 2.4.1 and QT3.3.7 installed on the Mac

I moved the source tarball over, and tried the usual ./configure, but it came back with an error about missing kde-config. As far as I know my software should not need any KDE specific stuff.

I've been searching for a tutorial, and the only things I found all mentioned using

qmake -spec macx-xcode

When I run that (tried on both the linux machine and the Mac) it gives me (from the linux attempt, the mac one is the same, just different paths):

Could not find mkspecs for your QMAKESPEC after trying:
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs
/usr/lib/qt-3.3
/usr/lib/qt-3.3
Error processing project file: /home/stephan/Development/C++/mac/vfalerter/project.pro

I'm out of ideas. How would I proceed from here?

Thanks in advance.

looks like your qt installtion is not in the default path.
What does your QTDIR sys var return?

On the Mac box it is in /Developer/qt (as per the installation docs) (And echo $QTDIR returns that path correctly).

I checked that mkspecs exists, and it is in the correct folder. Here is what I get when I try the command on there:
