PySide is now a Qt Add-on and uses the Qt Project's JIRA Bug Tracker instead of this Bugzilla instance. This Bugzilla is left for reference purposes.

Description Thomas Perl 2011-01-19 10:17:33 EET

This is just a mailing list post turned into a bug report, as I think that
there is some problem with the build system's compatibility with OS X:

http://lists.openbossa.org/pipermail/pyside/2011-January/001870.html


I'm trying to get PySide to build on Mac OS X (and add support for OS
X to my buildscripts ;). I'm now stuck at the following problem:

Before that error, I get 136 warnings like this (for different classes):

type 'QTimer' is specified in typesystem, but not defined. This could
potentially lead to compilation errors.

The file in question does not exist. This is what is inside the
directory mentioned in the error:

I'm using the gcc tools from Xcode and the Qt framework from the Qt OS X SDK.

Hi check if you are using the correct args to cmake command.


http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_PySide_on_Mac_OS_X

Due some bug in mac cmake you need to specify the Qt path manually, try this
using -DALTERNATIVE_QT_INCLUDE_DIR=/Library/Frameworks/

Comment 3 Matti Airas 2011-01-19 10:55:03 EET

Thanks, I'm making this P2 (although I believe this is more of an documentation
issue because the OpenBossa team is building PySide regularly on OS X on our
build farm).

Comment 4 renato filho 2011-01-19 11:41:45 EET

we have this documented on MacOS X compiler wiki.

Comment 5 Matti Airas 2011-01-19 11:45:27 EET

OK - if Thomas can get the thing compiled with those instructions (Renato,
could you provide the URL), I'll resolve this as invalid...

Yes, I can build it with that addition to the cmake arguments. Thanks a lot for
the help. I'll put my results into the buildscripts repository as soon as I
clean up the scripts a bit.
