Compiling Qt for iOS (UIKit lighthouse)

Question

I've been trying to compile Qt for iOS, but I've been having some crazy problems that noone else seems to be having (at least according to what I read in the past day).

I followed the instructions from this article:article url

1. I cloned a the latest Qt 4.8 from git: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git
2. I made the qt-lighthouse-ios-simulator folder, cd to it.
3. I ran the long line of code from the article: $ ../qt/configure -qpa -xplatform qpa/macx-iphonesimulator-g++ -arch i386 -developer-build -release -opengl es2 -no-accessibility -no-qt3support -no-multimedia -no-phonon-backend -no-svg -no-webkit -no-scripttools -no-openssl -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-odbc -no-cups -no-iconv -no-dbus -static -nomake tools -nomake demos -nomake docs -nomake examples -nomake translations
4. opensource license
5. yes I accept the agreement

I get these errors:

In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Headers/Accessibility.h:13, from /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Headers/HIServices.h:49, from /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Headers/ApplicationServices.h:34, from generators/mac/pbuilder_pbx.cpp:56: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Headers/AXUIElement.h:65: error: CGCharCode has not been declared /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Headers/AXUIElement.h:65: error: CGKeyCode has not been declared

After struggling with this, searching here and there, and finding nothing useful (even nothing about what CGKeyCode or CGCharCode actually are, I decided to "hack" it and just added the definitions to pbuilder_pbx.cpp:

typedef u_int16_t CGCharCode; /* Character represented by event, if any */ typedef u_int16_t CGKeyCode; /* Virtual keycode for event */

Then another file couldn't compile, with the same errors. After adding them to a couple of files, I eventually added them to qcore_mac_p.h, then some files complained that they didn't know what u_int16_t was, so I added

typedef unsigned short u_int16_t; /* compile, god damn you!!! */

to the same header.

Now everything compiled but there was this linker error:

ld: in /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreGraphics.framework/CoreGraphics, missing required architecture x86_64 in file for architecture x86_64

Here's where I'm stuck. Any help?

Additional information:

• gcc --version : i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1
• iOS SDK: I have both 4.2 and 4.3
• OS X version: 10.6.7
• Xcode version (if it matters): 4.0.2

Answer 1

The problem somehow magically doesn't exist, when I tried the same thing on a different Mac with OS X 10.7.1

I have no idea how and why, but now qmake compiles and links.
