MacOS build instruction QT directory

cmake -B cmake-build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DRV_DEPS_QT5_LOCATION=$HOME/Qt5.15.11/5.15.11/clang_64

readme tells me to install qt 5.15.2 which defaults installs to

/$HOME/Qt/5.15.2/

so the command should be

cmake -B cmake-build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DRV_DEPS_QT5_LOCATION=$HOME/Qt/5.15.2/clang_64

Might be in /opt/QT/...

tried on 3 macs now and it was always in $HOME/Qt/5.15.2/clang_64 by default using the installer from QT as suggested by the build guide.

Hi, I agree the path in the build guide should probably be 5.15.2 to match the README.

You can also try sourcing the rvcmds.sh file in the root to setup the build commands for you.

source rvcmds.sh
rvmk

Please make sure the paths echoed after you source the rvcmds are correct, and override them with envars if not.

did you find a binary installer for 5.15.2 or did you build from source? i can't seem to find a binary installer anywhere on qt's site?

Hi @etiam,

you can run the regular online installer (qt-unified-macOS...) and select 5.15.2 in the components section:

Cheers, Christian

thanks for the info Christian. i did not see those options in the installer i downloaded (qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.5.1-online.dmg) but after changing the "Selected Categories" to Archive and LTS and waiting awhile i was able to find 5.15.2. strange.

The initial issue got fixed in #17. I am now closing this issue.
