checkpoint: Qt5 on OS X #3
Conversation
Don't just blindly pull it. I have not tested this.
In Qt5, qt_mac_execute_apple_script got desupported. Luckily, QSystemTrayIcon appears to handle Notifications Center, and handles Growl prior to that. "The Growl notification system must be installed for QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage() to display messages on Mac OS X prior to 10.8 (Mountain Lion)." http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsystemtrayicon.html
At some point, Apple changed over from libstdc++ to libc++. Modern homebrew builds expect libc++. Change the minimum deployment target to 10.9 temporarily; 10.7 support may be possible. 10.6 support would seem to require custom Homebrew builds of (at least) Boost and libdb_cxx with CXXFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++, or the equivalent deployment target.

Grr, this is giving me problems on the latest Xcode, which seems to want C++11. I’ll fix. |

Damn you’re a coding machine! Notifications will come if you receive coins — unless you’re talking about alerts? I’ll just fire off another 1,000 coins at you to test when you’re ready — wonder if we should fire up a Slack thing to do the instant messaging? -dvd On May 1, 2016, at 13:27, Jay Carlson notifications@github.com wrote:

Doh, homebrew completely broke macqtdeploy for Qt5. I just spent a few hours debugging before finding Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#42191. Upshot: use the upstream Qt5 libraries if you ever want to deploy a Qt5 app on a non-homebrew system. Lemme finish this bug before I think of anything else. |

I gave up and went back to Homebrew Qt. It works better. So, to build this branch: The executable runs on 10.7. I don’t have Growl installed, so I don’t think I’ll get notifications. |

I’m just checkpointing progress on Qt5. This should work on OS X 10.9 and later.
Could you check if notifications work? I don’t know how to elicit one.
I’m going to test a build of this on 10.7. I’m not sure 10.6 is going to work, certainly not without a lot of Homebrew rebuild-from-source.
