qt5 doesn't compile on macOS 10.12

When I execute in the source directory a similar configure command (./configure) and no -top-level I get a similar result

When I run it manually without the sdk stuff it seems to configure

When compile qt5 manually with the configure command from PVSB but with skipped -sdk options

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -prefix /Users/fwein/tmp/pvsb/install -I /Users/fwein/tmp/pvsb/install/include -L /Users/fwein/tmp/pvsb/install/lib -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialport -skip qtsvg -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-dbus -qt-libjpeg -qt-pcre -no-alsa -no-pulseaudio -system-zlib -no-openssl -no-alsa -no-pulseaudio -system-zlib -no-openssl -qt-libpng -qt-libpng

it works to build qt5 manually. Hence an approach could be to not forward the sdk flags to qt5?

Just for the records: qt4 is known for some time not to compile on macs:

Standard setup with qt4 enabled

`In file included from /Users/fwein/tmp/pvsb_killme/superbuild/qt4/src/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac.cpp:44: In file included from ../../include/QtGui/private/qpaintengine_mac_p.h:1: ../../include/QtGui/private/../../../../src/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac_p.h:252:9: warning: private field 'mBytesPerLine' is not used [-Wunused-private-field] int mBytesPerLine; ^ 3 warnings and 2 errors generated. make[5]: *** [.obj/release-shared/qpaintengine_mac.o] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 1 warning generated. make[4]: *** [release] Error 2 make[3]: *** [sub-gui-make_default-ordered] Error 2 CMake Error at /Users/fwein/tmp/pvsb_killme/superbuild/sb-qt4-build.cmake:43 (message): Failed with exit code 2

As qt5 builds manually without the -sdk option I removed it from paraview-superbuild/superbuild/projects/apple/qt5.cmake and made

cmake ../paraview-superbuild -DENABLE_cxx11=ON -DENABLE_hdf5=ON -DENABLE_qt5=ON -Dsuperbuild_download_location=~/tmp/pvsb_downloads -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.12 -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk

but while the configure command looks quite similar to the manual successful configuration it fails with a (new) error:

Here I add a file with the complete output including configurepatched_qt5.txt

I added -verbose to the configure call of qt5 and got

Today qt 5.7.1 was finally released, I added it to the superbuild. I have a fully up to date macos 10.12.1 with Xcode 8.2

cmake ../paraview-superbuild -DENABLE_cxx11=ON -DENABLE_qt5=ON -Dsuperbuild_download_location=~/tmp/pvsb_downloads -DCMAKE_OSX_SDK=macosx10.12

results in (sorry, the code insertion simply of the editor simply fails :(

`Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from the previous build.

I did also a plain "configure -verbose" on vanilla qt 5.7.1 everywhere and compare the output.

One more: An obvious difference between the linker commands is, that in psvb the first two options from vanilla qt 5.7.1 is missing "-headerpad_max_install_names -stdlib=libc++"

When I add this to the pvsb link command and execute it in /Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/superbuild/qt5/build/qtbase/src/corelib I don't get the linker error any more! But the next link fails.

Anybody has an idea on how to change this? Unfortunately qt is not missing cmake, so I have no idea :(

after cmake ../paraview-superbuild -DENABLE_cxx11=ON -DENABLE_qt5=ON -Dsuperbuild_download_location=~/tmp/pvsb_downloads -DCMAKE_OSX_SDK=macosx10.12

I copied the configure command and applied it to configure qt 5.7.1 manually:

configure -verbose -opensource -confirm-license -release -prefix /Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install -I /Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install/include -L /Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install/lib -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialport -skip qtsvg -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-dbus -qt-libjpeg -qt-pcre -no-alsa -no-pulseaudio -system-zlib -no-openssl -no-alsa -no-pulseaudio -system-zlib -no-openssl -sdk macosx10.12 -verbose -qt-libpng -sdk macosx10.12 -verbose -qt-libpng

Then the linking is with clang++ -headerpad_max_install_names -stdlib=libc++ -Wl,-syslibroot ...

So the questions are: what makes the difference between building qt from psvb and manually? Or alternatively: How to enforce the options with Linking?

@Wein I don't have a Sierra machine to test on... but I plan to move the superbuild to qt 5.7.1 soon. As far as I know, the superbuild should be the same as running the configure command manually. Maybe check what environment variables it is using? In your build directory there will be a subdirectory called superbuild. In there you will find a file named something like sb-qt5-configure.cmake. That is the script the superbuild runs to configure Qt. If you look at the top of the script it is probably setting some environment variable that is breaking the configure. Let me know what you find out and I can help get the changes into the superbuild.

The top of the file sb-qt5-configure.cmake contains the following

1 set(environment "LDFLAGS; ;CPPFLAGS; -O3 -DNDEBUG;CXXFLAGS;-fPIC -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -O3 -DNDEBUG;CFLAGS;-fPIC -O3 -DNDEBUG;PATH;/Users/fwein/tmp/b uild_qt571/install/bin;CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH;/Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install") configuring qt via pvsb qt configure results in the output qmake vars .......... QMAKE_CFLAGS = -fPIC -O3 -DNDEBUG QMAKE_CXXFLAGS = -fPIC -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -O3 -DNDEBUG QMAKE_LFLAGS = styles += mac fusion windows DEFINES += QT_NO_MTDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_LIBUDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_EVDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_TSLIB DEFINES += QT_NO_LIBINPUT EXTRA_INCLUDEPATH += "/Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install/include" EXTRA_LIBS += -L"/Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install/lib" sql-drivers = sql-plugins = sqlite qmake switches ......... -d -d

building qt manually configure outputs qmake vars .......... styles += mac fusion windows DEFINES += QT_NO_MTDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_LIBUDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_EVDEV DEFINES += QT_NO_TSLIB DEFINES += QT_NO_LIBINPUT sql-drivers = sql-plugins = sqlite qmake switches ......... A manual qt compiles like this /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -pipe -stdlib=libc++ -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 -O3 -std=c++1z -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wall -W -fPIC -DQT_NO_MTDEV -DQT_NO_LIBUDEV -DQT_NO_EVDEV -DQT_NO_TSLIB -DQT_NO_LIBINPUT -DQT_NO_USING_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_FOREACH -DQT_HAVE_POLL -DQT_NO_ICONV -DQT_BUILD_CORE_LIB -DQT_BUILDING_QT -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_ASCII_CAST_WARNINGS -DQT_MOC_COMPAT -DQT_USE_QSTRINGBUILDER -DQT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS -DQT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x050000 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -I. -Iglobal -I../3rdparty/pcre -I../3rdparty/harfbuzz/src -I../3rdparty/md5 -I../3rdparty/md4 -I../3rdparty/sha3 -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include/double-conversion -I../3rdparty/forkfd -I../../include -I../../include/QtCore -I../../include/QtCore/5.7.1 -I../../include/QtCore/5.7.1/QtCore -I.moc -I/Users/fwein/tmp/build_qt571/install/include -I../../mkspecs/macx-clang -x c++-header -c global/qt_pch.h -o .pch/QtCore/c++.pch So the options seems not to be necessary. How can I make a run without these options?

The first line is where it sets the environment variables. They are a CMake list with the name of the variable and value being two adjacent elements in the list. But I don't see anything that I think would make a difference there. Maybe PATH, but I think that one is appended by the superbuild logic. Possibly the CXXFLAGS or CFLAGS existing is overriding something important for Qt?

You could try adding the flags you found you need (-headerpad_max_install_names -stdlib=libc++ -Wl,-syslibroot ...) to the LDFLAGS value in the first line and run the script. (cmake -P $script). Other than that I'm not sure. @ben.boeckel?

Can you try this patch inside of the superbuild/ subdirectory?

@Ben: I added the patch, slightly changed by superbuild_append_flags(ld_flags "-headerpad_max_install_names -stdlib=libc++" PROJECT_ONLY) And it appears, it did the trick! (still building at the moment but it links with 'clang++ -headerpad_max_install_names -stdlib=libc++ -Wl,-syslibroot ...' It seems not to work without PROJECT_ONLY

Thanks to both of you

Please also upgrade to qt 5.7.1
