Hi all!

I try to compile qlc but nothing helps, I always get the following errors:

Osx 12.6.2
Xcode 14.2
Qt 5.15.2

macx/hidapi.cpp:285:17: error: variable 'chars_copied' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

I have however followed the instructions given on the github wiki for the development environment but no luck.

Am I doing something wrong?

I also tried the qmltoqt6 branch with Qt 6.4.1 but got this error:

Code: Select all

In the same boat here.. trying to build so I can run tests locally and not use up the CI/CD

I have applied a couple of (blind) fixes upstream
Please try again now
Later tonight I'll test the change myself too

So this works with one change:
make run needs

Code: Select all

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

I also am able to use

Code: Select all

make -j 16

cleanly .. that's awesome!

I will do some more testing but looks good so far. Thanks for the quick fix. I'll try to get more involved in some of the fixes and features

FWIW .. this also now works using `brew` based installation vs macports and i'll write an update doc for that if you're interested.

I also hit this build issue that was easy to solve.
I recently purchased a mac mini m2 and was setting it up with brew. I want to invest some more time on Homebrew
Last time I checked, the problem was not quite building, but rather creating a good DMG bundle.
i'll try again in the next days.

Thanks much. I have a few spare intel Mini's as well if you want to use one as a build host, happy to donate to the cause as most of my run-time systems are still Intel.
