Installation Issues

[ASR81]

I have an error that occurs when installing idb.... The error happens when I run the command: gem install idb

CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.7.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1318 (message): Found unsuitable Qt version "5.7.1" from /usr/local/bin/qmake, this code requires Qt 4.x

I'm not very familiar with cmake or qt, and searching for a solution has left me empty handed. Anyone know of how to fix the error I'm experiencing? Thanks in advance!

[NitinJami]

Check out #79 for workaround.

[ASR81]

Thanks that helped me find the solution following a couple of links from there.

brew install cartr/qt4/qt
brew linkapps qt

[rustymagnet3000]

I had same issue. idb would not install with the qt5. Had to go back to qt4.

I attempted the workaround above and got the following

@sigmundfridge I have this same issue on El Capitan

[dmayer]

I just update the installation instructions at http://www.idbtool.com/installation/. Can you try installing a newer version of ruby say 2.4.1: rvm install 2.4.1 --enable-shared and then upgrade to the latest gem gem update idb?

[RishabhTayal]

@dmayer I followed the above steps and I am getting the following error.

It looks like you are missing cmake. If you are using homebrew you should be able to install it via brew install cmake.

[RishabhTayal]

I followed the instructions again from http://www.idbtool.com/installation/ and now its installed. 👍
Apparently I didn't run the following commands

brew tap cartr/qt4
brew tap-pin cartr/qt4
brew install cartr/qt4/qt@4
brew install cmake usbmuxd libimobiledevice

[xep624]

I've followed the installation guide, but then I got the following error:

Do you have any hint how to overcome it?

[ximerus]

Hi guys I solved that problem so:

1. clone https://github.com/ryanmelt/qtbindings
2. build gem file from sources
3. install qtbindings.gem
4. install idb

[xep624]

Confirm, works like a charm. Thank you very much @ximerus!

[Dhruv276R]

Can you tell the exact steps @ximerus
