[Interest] [Development] Mac Big Sur - Qt Open-Source Support For

[Michael Jackson]

For our application we grabbed the Qt 5.15 build script that Kitware used for universal binary CMake and used that to build Qt 5.15.2 on our M1 mac and have been using that for some beta testers. So far no one has complained about M1 specific issues. We also did *NOT* build all of Qt5, just the parts that we needed. Build script below.


=====================================================================
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Run this script on a macOS x86_64 host to generate Qt universal binaries.
#
# This script requires the 'makeuniversal' tool from:
#
#   https://github.com/fizzyade/makeuniversal
#
# Build it with an existing local Qt installation first.
#
# Set the PATH environment variable to contain the location of 'makeuniversal'.


umask 022

CpuBrand=`sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string | grep "Apple" | wc -l`
if [ ${CpuBrand} != 0 ];
then
  ARCH=arm64
else
  ARCH=x86_64
fi

Tor,

What about building Qt 5.15.X for M1 Macs? 

Is there any kind of wiki resource out there?

Regards,

Nuno

Qt 6.0 and above has official support for Big Sur:

https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-6.0/macos.html

5.15 is not yet officially supported, but should work fine as well, so please report any issues in JIRA, thanks!

Cheers,
Tor Arne

Dear Tukka and others,
Since September Big Sur is a reality.

Which Qt-version supports correctly QWidgets for this platform for
open-source development.

If there's no such version, when the support is planned if ever.

I'd appreciate not to hijack this question for any discussions beyond the
very narrow scope of this question.

Thanks,

Kind regards,
Robert
