I am trying to build notepadqq for MacOS following the official doc.

while running the make command I am facing below issue -

$ make
cd src/ui/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/local/Cellar/qt/6.3.0/bin/qmake -o Makefile /Users/vsamula/Downloads/notepadqq-1.4.0/src/ui/ui.pro PREFIX= QMAKE_CXX=c++ 'QMAKE_CXXFLAGS= ' QMAKE_LFLAGS= LRELEASE=/usr/local/Cellar/qt/6.3.0/bin/lrelease CONFIG+= ) && /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -f Makefile

Any suggestions on how i can fix the issue? Any help is greatly appreciated (working answer will be accepted or up voted).

  1. I am using MacOS Monterey - 12.4 (21F79)
  2. As can be seen in the log - i have installed QT(qt/6.3.0) using brew by following the link.

Like Parisa Adviced, i tried with QT5, but same story.

I guess it doesn't compatible with QT 6 or higher you should use QT 5. – Jeannettejeannie
@Jeannettejeannie - +1 - i tried with qt5, see the question edited with these logs. It did not work with qt5 either. Any further guidance. – Avail
I try it with qt 5.15 but still had issues, but with qt 5.12.8 it works and build correctly. As I see that project was written with qt 5.6. It doesn't relate to your OS , it relates to your qt version, unfortunately QT doesn't have backward compatibility – Jeannettejeannie
Don't forget to install qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools qtwebengine5-dev libqt5websockets5-dev libqt5svg5 libqt5svg5-dev libuchardet-dev pkg-config all of these should be installed in qt 5.12.8 or lower – Jeannettejeannie
@Jeannettejeannie - gr8 and tx. I am unable to install 5.12.8. Could you guide on how to install it.. $ brew install [email protected] Running brew update --auto-update... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew! Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core). Warning: No available formula with the name "[email protected]". ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)... Error: No previously deleted formula found. ==> Searching taps on GitHub... Error: No formulae found in taps. – Avail
@Jeannettejeannie - same is the case with rest of the packages you suggested. brew install qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools qtwebengine5-dev libqt5websockets5-dev libqt5svg5 libqt5svg5-dev libuchardet-dev pkg-config Warning: No available formula with the name "qt5-default". ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)... Error: No previously deleted formula found. ==> Searching taps on GitHub... Error: No formulae found in taps. – Avail
Well, I use Ubuntu i installed it by .run file – Jeannettejeannie
@Jeannettejeannie - well cool.. i used notepadqq in ubuntu.. it works out of box.. Making it work in MacOS is turning out to be quite a task.. the downloaded dmg is not working.. so am trying to build from source... lol. Thanks for all your time and suggestions. – Avail

It is definitely a version issue. You should try build from a 5.12 source say from https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.12/ with version 5.12.8 and lower. The steps for building from source for a mac is at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos-building.html.
