By the way, why are you cloning from github, and not the official
repository (code.qt.io)?

Cheers,

Hello Giuseppe,

I have been trying to compile Qt for the Apple TV. With the latest Apple
SDK updates, a number of breaks occurred in the Qt releases due to a
deprecated tvos API having been made made obsolete. I must have read
something out-of-date that led me to believe that the newest Qt code was
under github.

Based on your response, I checked out the dev branch on the official
repository and got it to compile.

Thank you for sending me back on the right path.

For some reason I had not seen your response in the digests I received but
found it in the archive. I have since changed my subscription options to
receive individual responses, which will also make answering easier.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Brendecke
