./configure troubles in mac
-
What exact Qt version are you trying to build and why do you want to build Qt by yourself?
Install a recent version with the Qt online installer...@Christian-Ehrlicher I'm trying to build version 3.2 from the CD-ROM that came with a book. I wanted to follow along with the instructions, but maybe I should just go with an installer like you said
-
I am following along with the "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3" book and quickly ran into errors when entering ./configure. I am on macOS version 13.5 by the way. Do I have to install an older macOS sdk or something?
The terminal output:

"C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3"
Qt 3 is too old -- it probably won't run on macOS 13.5. Qt 3 used the Carbon framework, while macOS 13.5 requires the Cocoa framework.
As @Christian-Ehrlicher said, please use Qt 6 instead. You can find relevant courses in the Qt Academy, such as https://academy.qt.io/catalog/learning-paths/68310
-
There was a huge break from Qt 3 to Qt 4. From then on it is more of an evolution from Qt 4 to QT 5 and then Qt 6. It is not worth it to learn Qt 3 first as this is all really outdated.

@SimonSchroeder Good to know! I happened to pick up this book from a library, but safe to say I will be learning with the newest version!
