How do I install Krita on Mac OS X?
I tried to install kwindowsystem, but it doesn't work.
The following error occured.
Other dependencies are already installed.

That sounds like cmake cannot find qmake, so try to add /Users/user/Desktop/krita/i/bin to the path.

Thank you for your advice !
I checked qmake. Then I found contention between qmake which I installed and Qt creater.
So I uninstalled Qt creater and it worked well !

If you want to work on Krita, you probably want to have Qt Creator back, but if you make sure the right qmake is first in the path, or pass -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/the/right/qmake to the cmake command, cmake won't be confused.

I just tried to build krita on mac recently and came across the same problem.
Here's the quick temporary solution that solved it for me:
If ext_qt was installed correctly, you should have a file:

Code: Select all

.../i/bin/qmake

Go to this directory and create a copy named "qmake-qt5":

Code: Select all

cp qmake qmake-qt5

Now return to your .../b/ directory and retry building the dependency:

Code: Select all

cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target ext_kwindowsystem

It should build.

Extra details to help fix the issue:
Looking at the file (that was throwing the error):

Code: Select all

 .../i/share/ECM/modules/ECMQueryQmake.cmake

It seems that it is looking for a file with the name: "qmake-qt5".

When I installed the qt dependency following the readme.md in the 3rdparty folder, and checked for qmake in .../i/bin/, it was called: "qmake".

This looked like a naming issue may be the problem, so I created a copy of "qmake" and called it "qmake-qt5". Both residing in the .../i/bin/ directory.

After this, running the build code in the docs:

Code: Select all

cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target ext_kwindowsystem

Seemed to work.

I don't know how difficult it would be to change this name, or whether it would impact other OS's, as I'm not that familiar with cmake. But I'll leave this as a temporary solution.
