there are no obvious errors.
the output being similar to building qt 4.8.5 (which I have built succesfully) but the obvious issue is that the bin folder only contains 3 files, moc.exe, rcc.exe, uic.exe
and missing the demos, doc, examples, imports folders etc .. and i cannot find them anywehere else.
i assume the make install step is failing
i'm a bit of a noob :)
i am using these steps to compile -
gunzip qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3.tar.gz
sudo tar xvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3.gz
./configure -prefix /Users/User/qt4.8.3
make
sudo make install
(i think i've tried sudo on make as well, but can't quite recall exactly)
the makefile seems to have relevant paths
install_qmake: FORCE
@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/User/Qt4.8.3/bin/ || $(MKDIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/User/Qt4.8.3/bin/
-$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) /Volumes/data/qt-creator/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/bin/qmake $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/User/Qt4.8.3/bin/
edit.. i went through and compared teh 4.8.3 and 4.8.5 makefiles and apart from the obvious version and directory differences they were identical. i'm wondering if it's a permission thing and will download a new copy of the source soon and try again.
