[Interest] Compile problems with Qt 5.9.1 from git

[Dirk Hohndel]

I'm trying to build Qt from source (since my project relies on QtWebKit and there are no pre-built binaries for that - which is a shame).

As always, building from source is a remarkably painful, time intensive and overall frustrating experience.

In order to have the binaries that we ship run on a reasonably wide set of hardware, this is the configure line that I use:

../qt5/configure \
	-release -opensource -confirm-license \
	-skip qt3d -nomake examples -nomake tests \
	--prefix=/Users/hohndel/Qt5.9.1 -sdk macosx10.10 -no-avx512 -no-avx2 \
	2>&1 | tee configure.log

Running make afterwards doesn't get very far. It fails with this error:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -c -pipe -stdlib=libc++ -O2 -std=c++1z -fapplication-extension  -arch x86_64 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.10 -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -fno-exceptions -Wall -W -fPIC -DQT_NO_NARROWING_CONVERSIONS_IN_CONNECT -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/Users/hohndel/src/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/bearer/corewlan -I. -I../../../../include/QtNetwork/5.9.1 -I../../../../include/QtNetwork/5.9.1/QtNetwork -I../../../../include/QtCore/5.9.1 -I../../../../include/QtCore/5.9.1/QtCore -I../../../../include -I../../../../include/QtNetwork -I../../../../include/QtCore -I.moc -I/Users/hohndel/src/qt5/qtbase/mkspecs/macx-clang -F/Users/hohndel/src/qt5.9.1-build/qtbase/lib -o .obj/qcorewlanengine.o /Users/hohndel/src/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/bearer/corewlan/qcorewlanengine.mm

Any ideas how to address this?

Thanks
