missing configuration file

[mysheepb]

Hello, I find Tao3D a great tool, however, as the precompiled binary crashes on my Mac (OS X 10.11.6), I would like to try building it from source.

I tried to follow the build instructions in the readme page, but when I ran ./configure, I got the following error:

Running: qmake -r -spec macx-g++ CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=silent PACKAGE_APPEND=   
Could not find qmake configuration file macx-g++.
Error processing project file: /[myrepo]/tao-3D/main.pro
It looks like configuration failed. You may need additional packages.
brew install qt5 llvm@3.7 vlc nodejs

Am I supposed to find a file called "macx-g++" somewhere? Or should I create it myself. Please advise. Thank you!

Hello. Where did you get the precompiled binary from? Could you please send me a stack trace so that I can take a look? Better yet, maybe open another issue with the crash.

Normally it’s part of Qt. That being said, I have not rebuilt the mac version of Tao3D in a long while (I’ve been swamped by many other activities, and Tao3D went a little on the back burner). I’ll try that today and tell you what I find. It’s likely you will run into a number of issues rebuilding the XL component, because LLVM has moved forward a lot. So you may need to revert to an ancient version of LLVM, e.g. 3.5. Addressing that is my current order of business, but I’m not very far along at the moment. How did you download Qt? What happens if you simply omit the -spec macx-g++ entirely? Thanks Christophe

Thank you for your reply.

I install Qt using Homebrew
brew install qt5

If I omit the -spec macx-g++, the error message becomes:

Could not find qmake configuration file macx-clang.
Error processing project file: /[myrepo]/tao-3D/main.pro

I'm new to building in Linux environment, how can I revert to LLVM 3.5?
