qt6 references file in /opt/local/bin, which do not exist

[kgarrels]

Hi,

got this error now building cmake projects, works if I uninstall all of qt6 and use qt5 instead. All qt6 version 6.2.4_2+openssl

Any suggestions?

Happy New Year, kai

CMake Error at /opt/local/lib/cmake/Qt6CoreTools/Qt6CoreToolsTargets.cmake:154 (message):
  The imported target "Qt6::moc" references the file

     "/opt/local/bin/moc"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/opt/local/lib/cmake/Qt6CoreTools/Qt6CoreToolsTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

qt6-qtbase installs /opt/local/libexec/qt6/bin/moc.

it does, but cmake does not look there...seems some prefix is not set, how could I do that?

You don’t show the command you're using to do the build - just to be sure: are you using qt-cmake?

ho ho ho - that was it! Thanks a lot!

Has this changed? because I was using macports' cmake until the last update of qt6...

Thanks again & Happy New Year! kai

Things did change with a recent Qt6 update in an attempt to resolve some other CMake issues we were seeing. However, you were always supposed ot use qt-cmake as described in the upstream documentation.

perfect, thanks for the explanation, your rapid response and clarity!
