qmake/Makefile/configure problem
Message 1 in thread
Hello all,
I am trying to install Qt 4.2 on OS X 10.4.8, Dual G5 Mac for a
friend who previously attempted several installs. I have an app that
builds successfully on my machine with qmake -project, then qmake,
then make. On his machine, however, the build fails because the
system looks for uic in a directory that no longer exists that I
suspect is where my friend had previously installed the system.
Inspection of Makefile has several occurrences of this directory in
it. Comparison of Makefile on my machine shows that the directory
should be the default location of the installation, namely /usr/local/
Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2. I have done several reinstalls and configures. I
have done make confclean. I have deleted OS X preference files for
Trolltech in the user's Library directory. With the latest configure,
I did ./configure -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2 to specify
explicitly the path to the installation. I have checked the
users .profile and his PATH variable which look OK (that is,
includes /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2 and not the bogus directory).
I manually deleted all previous installations before reinstalling. In
spite of all this, his Makefile still wants to look for uic in this
directory that does not exist.
Is there some persistent variable that was set previously by Qt that
I must change?
Thanks in advance.

The Qt4 install dir is hardcoded into the qmake binary. Try running
qmake -query QT_INSTALL_PREFIX
That should tell you the installation prefix that is built into the
qmake binary you use.

You might also do a "which qmake" to ensure that you've not got some
rogue qmake binary hanging around somewhere on the system...

OK. Here is what happens with the query:
qmake -query QT_INSTALL_PREFIX
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2
which is as it should be. And here is the result
of the which command:
which qmake
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2/bin/qmake
also as it should be. Here is the error message:
netblock-72-25-117-171:~/MyPrograms/ch05/Chap05B johnheuler$ qmake -
project
netblock-72-25-117-171:~/MyPrograms/ch05/Chap05B johnheuler$ qmake
netblock-72-25-117-171:~/MyPrograms/ch05/Chap05B johnheuler$ make
/Users/johnheuler/bin/uic Chap05B.ui -o .uic/debug-shared/ui_Chap05B.h
make: /Users/johnheuler/bin/uic: Command not found
make: *** [.uic/debug-shared/ui_Chap05B.h] Error 127
so it is looking for uic in /Users/johnheuler/bin, which does not
even exist, as
shown here:

/Users/johnheuler

I don't know how to interpret these lines from Makefile.
So, why the heck can't make find uic in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2/
bin?????????
Any more suggestions on how to track this down would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Stan

Check the rest of the Qt variables compiled in qmake:
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX
QT_INSTALL_DATA
QT_INSTALL_DOCS
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS
QT_INSTALL_LIBS
QT_INSTALL_BINS
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION

Looks good too. The last thing that comes to my mind: Does the source
directory contain a .qmake.cache file? If so remove that one and see if
it helps.
