Confused by MacOS installation instructions about kristall HOT 6 CLOSED

Is this app only for experienced qt users? If not, I'd be grateful for some more helpful instructions.

Yeah, at the moment for sure. I never developed anything on MacOS, but people already built it successful on Mac, but those were experienced devs that had used Qt already.

Maybe someone with Mac experience can help you here

Ok no worries!

I'm not familiar with Qt, but these steps worked for me on macOS 10.14/Mojave:

brew install qt
make build/kristall
open build/kristall.app

As far as I can tell, the Qt install with Homebrew includes the widgets and network modules.

I'm also having trouble building on Mac. I ran make build/kristall after installing qt, but I get an error related to openssl:

I've checked and the openssl headers are symlinked into /usr/local/include, which should mean that gcc can find them, but it's not for some reason. Has anyone had this problem? I can also open a new issue if need be, since this problem is only slightly related to the one in this issue.

You might need to run brew install openssl as well.

Kristall seems to be looking for the headers in /usr/local/opt/openssl/include, which is where Homebrew installs them.

Thanks to @ljcooke for providing build instructions. I'm closing this, when the problem still exists, please reopen!
