Hello,
I'm a complete PC person and now I need to compile a Qt program for Mac. I need to do it statically - the program should run on any Mac without depending on Qt being installed. I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I was able to borrow a Mac from a friend for just a few days to figure this out. Do I need to compile Qt from source code on the Mac? Does anyone have instructions how to do this?
Thank you in advance!
You will need to build your project to mac OS, so you will need a Qt installed on atleast the computer you will use, then before building the project configure Qt statically first with the support of course of the plugin you use.
Thanks!
I downloaded Qt for Mac: (ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt...urce-4.4.1.dmg) and installed it. Now I have a few folders and files where I downloaded everything. What do I do next, what file should I find? I'm not finding anything analogous to configure.exe. Also I don't know how to access command prompt.
Sorry about the beginner questions but I have no expereience with Mac and it's all very different from Windows. Are there step by step instructions somewhere?
The .dmg is a binary install so you just be able to double-click. To install from source, download the .tar. Once unzipped you can run configure.
Does anyone know how qmake functions on a Mac? Can I access it through the terminal and use it just like I use it for windows (through command prompt)? Or do people usually use Xcode to compile for Mac?
