[Interest] Building Qt from source ('libpq-fe.h' file not found)

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I’m trying to build Qt from source.

I need to do this because I need to patch a bug since it’s fix will only be released in 5.4.1 and I can’t wait for it.

I wanted to build the required framework only but i’m not sure where it belongs to (qmacmime.mm from platfaform support)

So, I’m trying to build the whole Qt from source but i’m being faced with the following error:

I have already tried to install postgresql from MacPorts but it keeps failing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
