HowTo setup Qt 5 on a Mac to develop Andriod apps?

[KeineAhnung]

Hi there,

I have successfully programmed an app for Sailfish OS and now I would like to port it to Andriod as well. But I already got issues just setting up Qt.

So I added the SDK and NDK and I can launch a virtual Andriod system via Qt. I also started a simple Hello World app for Andriod but it does not compile:

I assume I did not set it up correctly. Is there a got tutorial on how to do that on a Mac?
I tried Qt Quick and Qt Widget project. Both ended up with the same error message.

Thanks for your help!

Line 3 looks like a setup problem.

"ant" is the Java build tool and it seems the script cannot find it. Check if you have ant installed and it is in $PATH

Hi _,

you were right. Ant was not installed an my system so I installed it using MacPorts. After installing and rebooting I still get the same error. So Qt is not finding ant.

Check if you have ant installed and it is in $PATH

Terminal tells me for ant -version

Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.4 compiled on April 29 2014

So I guess it is installed but what do you mean by $PATH?

I have a ~/.profile file that looks like this:

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2014-06-11_at_14:03:53: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
 
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2014-06-11_at_14:03:53: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.

export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"

The directory is correct. This is were the files are.

[Update]
Okay I think I got it. Within the Qt Andriod Settings I had to specify the path to ant as well. After doing that I got no errors.
