Title: compiling problem for Mac OSX 10.7.5
Post by: myaltcoin on April 05, 2016, 08:12:57 PM
I try  to compile a wallet on MAC OSX 10.7.5,
I installed macport, and xcode
I run: sudo port install boost db48 qt4-mac openssl miniupnpc git
then I run qmake litecoinx-qt.pro
it says: qmake not found...

I checked port installed and I found qt4-mac, but I still cannot run qmake on command line, I am using 10.7.5 lion OSX, and problem? thanks

You need Homebrew, not macports.  Are you following this?
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md

But if you really installed something called "macport" vs "macports" then you may have installed something completely different or unrelated.

edit:
p.s.  With macports you may need to do some extra install stuff to link qmake correctly.

Thanks, my file is mycoin-qt.pro, not in sh, how to deal with this?

You'll have to ask the person who created the alt coin.  You initially posted in the Bitcoin section, so the answer applied to Bitcoin.
