Problems building Polyphone 1.9 with QT on MacOS

• 4 0

  Message from Carl Caulkett on …
  Hello, because I cannot download the application, I decided to try building from source. I downloaded QT and installed that. I did a `git clone` from github.com of the 1.9 sources, and loaded up `polyphone.pro`.
  
  I had to make some tweaks, including...
      QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.14
      QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.14
  
  I'm now getting the error...
  :-1: error: No rule to make target `RELEASE/.obj/sfarkextractor1.o', needed by `RELEASE/polyphone.app/Contents/MacOS/polyphone'.  Stop.
  
  UPDATE: I've just seen the issue at (link broken).
  
  I'll give it a go and report back!
  
  I'm now getting a whole host of errors which seem to be centred on `utils.cpp` including...
  
          /Users/carlca/Music/polyphone/sources/core/utils.cpp:29: error: 'openssl/rsa.h' file not found
          #include "openssl/rsa.h"
  
          /Users/carlca/Music/polyphone/sources/core/utils.cpp:137: error: unknown type name 'BIO'
  
          /Users/carlca/Music/polyphone/sources/core/utils.cpp:150: error: use of undeclared identifier 'RSA_PKCS1_PADDING'
  
  Amongst others.
  
  Any ideas, anyone?

  Okay, I wasn't expecting to be wrestling with C++ builds; my language of choice is Golang! But, so far, I've had to make the following changes...
  
  Added the `openssl` folder to the Headers section of the project in QT Creator
  
  
  
  Added the `dialog_export.ui` to polyphone [master] -> Forms -> dialogs
  
  My progress has now ground to a halt. The `dialog_export.ui` file added to the projetct okay, but now I am getting a whole host of errors...
  
  
  I haven't shown all of the errors because instinct tells me that that one simple change will sort out most/all of the 48 issues currently plaguing my life. I expect that there will be more issues just waiting to pop up but I am stuck for the moment, unless some bright spark can rescue me!

  No worries! I tried the download of the binary again, this time in Chrome, and while the file still showed up dimmed in Finder, I was able to open the DMG and copy the app to /Applications and am now running the app okay.
  
  I'd be interested to know what I was doing wrong when trying to build from source though, although the urgency has diminished somewhat!
