For a reason FreeBSD doesn’t support Qt5 build tools out of box. There are a few problems that have to be solved before you can run qmake && make
to build a project. Firstly, my default setup didn’t have QMAKESPEC specified, add this line to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
export QMAKESPEC=freebsd-g++ |
Also add this line to specify Qt5 theme:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct |
If you installed qt with qt5-core and qt5-qmake, the installed packages are in:
/usr/local/lib/qt5/bin
but this path is not in standard $PATH, so you need to append it.
