Unable to create/open qmake project under MacOS X

[budda]

I just installed Qt5.3.1 on Lion 10.7.3

1. did you install CommandLineTools for Xcode 1st?
2. then Xcode what ever version for your Mac OS X version
3. trick for me was after opening the dmg, copy the Xcode to /Applications directory, then installing.
4. had to do step 3, to get below to work in terminal....

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

5. Install Qt of course, I chose all the packages
6. then in .pro file I had to add

QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.7

QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.7

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

sounds dumb but I also had to update my ITunes (don't know or want to know why)
I also had to play around with different versions of Xcode all of which "should've" worked, but took 3 installs till I had the exact one I needed.

this link is a big help

hope you solve your issue

Thanks for the reply!
I did all the steps you mentioned, but it was not working anyway. Then I looked into QtCreator plugins ("About Plugins" in the menubar) and I noticed that qmake support is a plugin. It was loaded but I also double clicked on it and I noticed that it depends on some Qml plugin, which was not loaded. I loaded it and everything started to work

Thanks anyway!

Installing all the packages also includes all the plugins. Glad you didn't give up.
