OpenRV macOS Build Status

Current Status

✅ Qt Detection Fixed: CMake now correctly prioritizes the specified Qt installation (/Users/tonylyons/Qt/6.5.3/macos) over Homebrew Qt.

✅ Build Environment Ready: All required Homebrew packages installed, CMake configured, Python virtual environment set up.

❌ QtWebEngine Missing: Qt 6.5.3 installation is missing the QtWebEngine component, which is required for building OpenRV.

Required Action: Install QtWebEngine

QtWebEngine must be installed via the Qt Maintenance Tool. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Qt Maintenance Tool:

    open ~/Qt/MaintenanceTool

    (If not found there, check ~/Qt/ directory or re-download from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source)

  2. In Qt Maintenance Tool:

    • Click "Add or remove components"
    • Select your Qt 6.5.3 installation
    • Expand "Qt 6.5.3" → "Additional Libraries"
    • Check "Qt WebEngine" component
    • Click "Next" and complete the installation

  3. Verify Installation:

    ls -d /Users/tonylyons/Qt/6.5.3/macos/lib/cmake/Qt6WebEngineCore

    Should show the directory exists.

Build Commands (After Installing QtWebEngine)

Once QtWebEngine is installed, run:

cd /Users/tonylyons/Dropbox/Public/GitHub/OpenRV
export RV_VFX_PLATFORM=CY2024
export QT_HOME=/Users/tonylyons/Qt/6.5.3/macos
source rvcmds.sh
rvbootstrap

Or step by step:

source rvcmds.sh
rvsetup    # Install Python dependencies (already done)
rvcfg      # Configure CMake
rvbuild    # Build the project

Final Output Location

After successful build:

  • Release build: _build/stage/app/RV.app/Contents/MacOS/RV
  • Debug build: _build_debug/stage/app/RV.app/Contents/MacOS/RV

To launch:

open _build/stage/app/RV.app
# or
_build/stage/app/RV.app/Contents/MacOS/RV

Fixes Applied

  1. Qt Path Priority (cmake/dependencies/qt6.cmake):

    • Prepend Qt location to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to prioritize over Homebrew
    • Clear cached Qt6 variables to force re-discovery
    • Updated error message for Qt 6.5.3

  2. QtWebEngine Installation Guidance:

    • Clear error message directing users to install via Qt Maintenance Tool
    • Qt 6.5.3 WebEngine cannot be auto-downloaded (unlike 6.8.3)

Verification

To verify Qt detection is working correctly (not picking up Homebrew Qt):

cd /Users/tonylyons/Dropbox/Public/GitHub/OpenRV
export RV_VFX_PLATFORM=CY2024
export QT_HOME=/Users/tonylyons/Qt/6.5.3/macos
source rvcmds.sh
rvcfg 2>&1 | grep -i "qt\|webengine"

Should show:

  • Using Qt 6.5 installation already set at /Users/tonylyons/Qt/6.5.3/macos
  • No references to /opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/Qt6
