[SOLVED] SOFA build on MacOS && Fail to build libSofaGuiQt.dylib

[Star war]

Dear Sofa,
I try to build the source’s code of the latest stable sofa from the command:
git clone -b v19.12 https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa.git
then I go to the sofa’s directory and
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
There is an error when linking “../../lib/libSofaGuiQt.dylib” and I think it fails to generate the lib of libSofaGuiQt.dylib. I fail and don’t know how to fix it, although I try to find similar problems on the sofa’s forum and search it in Google. I hope to receive a reply.

System: MacOS Catalina 10.15.4
Xcode 11.4.1 Build version 11E503a

Thank you.

Hi @enxing

Did you properly installed Qt as noticed in the build instructions for MacOS?
Did you specify the path to Qt in the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH as explained?

Best,

Hugo

Previously, I didn’t obey

We recommend to install Qt in your user directory with the unified installer

and installed qt by brew install qt. But just now I install the unified installer of QT and select the three components Macos, Charts, and WebEngine of QT with the latest version. After I uninstall old QT by brew uninstall qt, I succeed to build SOFA.

Thank you.
Enxing.
