qtwebengine does not build on darwin #36932

mpickering · 2018-03-13T20:55:53Z

Issue description

qtwebengine fails just after successfully configuring with error message

Using Xcode version , but at least version 7.3 is required to build Qt WebEngine.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

I've fixed quite a few of the Qt issues recently on darwin but this one is out of my depth. Can anyone help?

Steps to reproduce

nix-shell -p qt5.qtwebengine

Technical details

 - system: `"x86_64-darwin"`
 - host os: `Darwin 16.7.0, macOS 10.12.6`

Nix builds don't depend on xcode, it's pretty likely the build works fine with just clang if the check is skipped. Otherwise there's xcbuild that can build certain xcode projects.

mpickering · 2018-03-13T23:46:22Z

Thanks for that. I just removed the check it the build proceeded some more..

Now there is a libtool error after adding libtool as a dependency.

matthewbauer · 2018-03-28T20:11:50Z

darwin.cctools can provide libtool I think.

mpickering · 2018-04-17T23:20:22Z

It is even more broken now.

matthewbauer · 2018-04-18T01:19:40Z

It looks like the new issue is coming from qtmultimedia. I'm not really sure what's going on though.

/cc @ttuegel

matthewbauer · 2018-04-26T01:16:12Z

Ah it looks like it's still kind of broken so I'll reopen this. Not sure what's going on though.

mpickering · 2018-04-26T12:42:24Z

The error appears to be:

Could not resolve SDK product version for 'macosx'. 
Building Qt WebEngine requires a macOS SDK version of 10.11 or newer. Current version is .
QtWebEngine will not be built.

Fixes NixOS#39334 and Fixes NixOS#36729 Also, Fixes NixOS#36932 (hopefully it's still building) (This might be able to be able to be cherry-picked to 18.03 but be careful - chromium is extremely touchy. Probably best to wait for it to be built successfully on Hydra a few times.)

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should NOT run 'make install'.
Note that this build cannot be deployed to other machines or devices.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

infinisil · 2019-03-12T14:55:34Z

@toonn Have you seen #56440?

toonn · 2019-03-12T16:19:56Z

@infinisil, I hadn't but I'm not sure what to do with that? Are you suggesting running a local nixpkgs? I'm still on unstable.

It says it's surpassed by #56744 though so I'm not sure what to do.

veprbl · 2019-03-12T21:03:10Z

@toonn
I'm waiting for #56744 to be merged first, it will still require some fixing on top of that to get qtwebengine working. Meanwhile you can use my existing fix:

nix-env -f https://github.com/veprbl/nixpkgs/archive/b7b1540a430d88026ac11d3df356652cde0cb2c3.tar.gz -iA anki

Or, if you need it to use it declaratively in your config, you could use

(import (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/veprbl/nixpkgs/archive/b7b1540a430d88026ac11d3df356652cde0cb2c3.tar.gz) {}).anki

If this should have been fixed, than unfortunately this seems not to work, at least on macOS 10.15.7. I'm getting this on nixpkgs-unstable:

If qt5.qtwebengine doesn't work for you, please file a new issue.

toonn · 2020-11-09T17:55:42Z

But this issue is exactly about qtwebengine not building on darwin, no? Closing it sends a strong signal that it should build now (at least for recent enough channels).

veprbl · 2020-11-09T18:08:00Z

@toonn Yes, from user perspective it's the same issue. But the reasons for the breakage will likely be different this time, so the context of this past discussion will be mostly irrelevant.

Notice that this was closed in 2019, so no message regarding the current state is implied. Also, since then we had #86949.
