I do not understand why, but I was told before, and I forgot:

One needs to delete *.la from /path/to/qt-4.4-install/lib/ after compiling Qt !!!

Well, I haven't heard that before.

This was what Bennet told me to get started - and it looks like it is necessary. I found a few things on the web indicating that Qt would ship self-made (?) .la-files (not generated from libtool) that do something with the "-framework Carbon" parameter that does not work with autotools/libtool. Maybe it is also related to the libtool version. Is libtool included in the LyX source, or is that something I should update on my system (If needed, I can install quite recent versions of whatever, using MacPorts).

In fact, I had this week a variety of Qt build on Mac (mostly 4.4 - 4.6)
under my fingers, but certainly have not needed to touch any .la file/

Have you tried with LyX also?

With a similar build-system as we use in LyX (statically built Qt, and using autotools/configure/make-mechanism, not cmake or scons)?

Does Trolltech/Nokia officially know about it?

All I do is building Qt with:






If I do not do that, linking fails with:

creating liblyxinsets.la

libtool: link: cannot find the library `' or unhandled argument `Carbon'
make[4]: *** [lyx] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2



Maybe you can bring some light into this shady business.

Thanks,
Konrad

No idea. I do not understand our build system well enough so that I could judge and/or give a useful report - from as much as I understand it could just as well be a problem in LyX's autotools configuration, or my setup. ./configure -prefix ~/qt-443 -release -static -fast -no-exceptions -universal -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -nomake examples -nomake tools -nomake demos -no-libtiff and then building LyX-1.6.0rc3 using the attached script (no autogen on my side). LyX builds fine if beforehand I remove *.la from /path/to/qt-4.4-install/lib/ (cd .libs && rm -f liblyxinsets.la && ln -s ../liblyxinsets.la liblyxinsets.la) /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Os -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -Wl,-dylib_file,/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib -arch i386 -o lyx main.o ISpell.o SpellBase.o BiblioInfo.o Box.o Dimension.o PrinterParams.o Thesaurus.o liblyxcore.la liblyxmathed.la liblyxinsets.la frontends/liblyxfrontends.la frontends/qt4/liblyxqt4.la liblyxgraphics.la support/liblyxsupport.la ../boost/liblyxboost.la .../intl/libintl.a -liconv -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation -liconv -lz -framework ApplicationServices -framework Carbon -framework AppKit -lQtGui -lQtCore -lz -lm The libtool call however looks the same when I do NOT remove the *.la files, that means something is going wrong earlier than when the above error occurs.
