Mac OSX 10.11.5 fails to build - 'QQmlApplicationEngine' file not found

[the-mustard-tiger]

Attempting to build out the GUI wallet and create some better instructions for the crew.

First I found that I had an additional pre-requisite and had to install qt from homebrew. This appears to maybe be part of the problem as QQmlApplicaionEngine appears to be related to qt? Is it perhaps a path issue or something?

Here's what I see in attempting build: http://pastebin.com/8uu9p9zL

Here are the instructions I'm working on and where I'm stuck: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o84WesPBg1jO2eMz_-1lZruQPpnH8b-5SRzIywVuE9Q/edit?usp=sharing

Seems related to the version of qt that my machine is picking up. qmake --version was referencing a version 4.X so I ran a brew uninstall qt and tried to force it to install v5.

I can't seem to get a command for brew that lays down version v.57 that seems to work in the other bug thread. When I run brew install qt5 it puts down version 5.6; I see a brew install qt55 out there as well but in running that it didn't help.

How are folks getting qt 5.7 installed on their Mac OS X?

I had the same issue.

brew currently doesn't have a formula to install 5.7. i dowloaded it from the QT website and then pointed the PATH variable to the QT bin directory that the installation creates

Are able to give some drop dead simple instructions on the path altering? I saw a few threads but none spelled it out.

I downloaded qt but it said I needed Xcode so I let that install overnight.

Thanks in advance.

need to find where QT5.7 was installed. Looks something like /Users/xmrdc/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin

@the-mustard-tiger, I've installed Qt 5.7 using official installer from qt.io. It installs Qt to /Users/yourname/Qt/5.7/clang_64

Also, you need to have Qt's bin path in your $PATH variable, and it needs to be added before any other Qt bin path. Can be done by adding following line to the ~/.bash_profile file: export PATH=$HOME/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin:$PATH (not sure if there's a better way in Mac's world)
