[Qgis-developer] QGIS setup with Qt 5 on mac

Wed Nov 30 16:32:34 PST 2016

Hi,

Another update. I have crafted a 'qgis3-dev' Homebrew formula:
https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/blob/master/Formula/qgis3-dev.rb

See README for basics on building the formula:
https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev

For those devs/testers with a ready-to-go Homebrew setup:
`brew tap qgis/qgisdev`
`brew info qgis3-dev` (to review options)
`brew install -dv qgis3-dev <extra options>` (though try without options
first)

Takes ~ 18-20 mins to build on a newer Mac with 8 cores. There is a long
pause when compiling src/core/qgsxmlutils.cpp (not sure why it happens only
for a Homebrew formula).

Note: there are definitely macOS-related bugs in the resultant QGIS.app.
Please report them as QGIS bugs, unless you think it is related to the
formula, then report on github tracker for homebrew-qgisdev repo.

If you have the time, please test this and contribute however you can.
Thanks!

I am working on a 'qgis3-travis' formula, specific for use in main QGIS
source tree Travis CI testing. Also working on an updated tutorial for
using Qt Creator 4.1, etc. to develop on QGIS source based upon these
formulae Homebrew dependencies (much easier now).
