BTW, does QMC2 Arcade (SVN latest) work for you, Monotremata? David told me that it crashes during start-up, but I didn't have the time to test and investigate myself yet. I did a test with Qt 4.8.3 / i386 and it works fine for me, although I was hit by this bug in the first place: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25312https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-23673So effectively, after I renamed the /usr/local/Trolltech folder, it strangely started working (= "no longer crashed" shortly after its start): dhcp86:qmc2 rene$ sudo su -
Password:
dhcp86:~ root# cd /usr/local
dhcp86:local root# mv Trolltech Trolltech.save
However, it was not the same issue that David reported (according to the back trace he sent), so I'm not sure if Qt 4.8.5 introduced something else... guess I have to update my Qt installation to 4.8.5 on that (slow) machine to find out.

Sorry didnt see this yesterday (I was actually busy playing MAME and getting MESS sorted out haha) but yeah mine just took a dive on me too. Heres the beginning of Apples Crash Report.. If you need the whole thing with the thread details let me know. I didnt wanna flood the board with a 10 page post with the error details hehehe. Process: qmc2-arcade [17166]

Im pretty sure when I posted a page or two back about my trouble getting QMC-SDLMame to run, but Arcade worked fine, I was also using 4.8.5, but yesterday when cleaning out my downloads folder I had the source archive for 4.8.4 so perhaps I was still on that a month or two back..

I've had a positive report from another team member who's using Qt 4.8.5 on Mac OS X 10.8.x x86_64 without any problems... and David answered that my "fix" from above solved his issue, too (same platform AFAICT). I'm actually a bit confused about that and don't really know what to tell you...
I'd say, please try renaming '/usr/local/Trolltech' to '/usr/local/Trolltech.save' temporarily as I did and see if this works for you as well. If not, please send the full back-trace (or a link to an uploaded one, but it's OK to post here as long as it's done in a code-block)!

Yeah renaming it worked for me too, Arcade is running as I type. Now a non QMC question, is my entire QT install located in the Trolltech folder alone?? I noticed in /usr/local I also have a folder called Qt4.8, but I couldve sworn it put everything in the Trolltech directory??
Last but not least, I assume next time I compile an svn version, Ill need to rename the folder back right??
If you need any testing or anything from me since Im on ye olde 10.6 just let me know! Its friday and I got two days off to do nothing but play hehe.

Seems that this simple diff to Qt 4.8.5 fixes the issue:
--- ./src/gui/kernel/qcocoaapplication_mac.mm.orig 2013-09-07 17:08:41.000000000 +0200
+++ ./src/gui/kernel/qcocoaapplication_mac.mm 2013-09-07 17:08:50.000000000 +0200
@@ -141,6 +141,9 @@
if (!qApp)
return false;
+ if (!event)
+ return false;
+
if (qApp->macEventFilter(0, reinterpret_cast<EventRef>(event)))
return true;
Thanks, David, for testing!

Ok so I know how to patch diffs to MAME.. Do I just copy that into a text file, put it in the main QT source directory and then patch???
Dont mind rebuilding Qt as long as it works hehe. Knowing me Ill forget to rename the folder back next time I try to build it and will end up screwing something else up on my system trying to repair it hahaha.

Just download the patch (see link above), cd to the Qt source base folder and do
$ patch -p0 < /tmp/qt-4.8.5.diff
(assuming you store the patch file as /tmp/qt-4.8.5.diff) However, the diff is so simple that you could as well patch it manually. It should be enough to just run "make && sudo make install" again... it shouldn't be necessary to rebuild Qt from scratch. Here's how I did it: http://wiki.batcom-it.net/index.php?title=Building_Qt_on_Mac_OS_X

Oh yay just my luck.. Like an idiot I deleted my source folder out of my /Dev directory once I got QMC2 working haha. I think the QT source blew up to over 1GB once it was done so I deleted it thinking 'Eh I wont need this anymore' haha. Oh well starting over again but at least itll be patched now!

Well, right, you usually don't need to keep the Qt build tree... but there are many good reasons to still do so if you can (i.e. it's required to build QtCreator from source, at least when you want to have the built-in scene designer  ). But yeah, the build tree grows to a few GB on disk. I'd recommend adding "-release" to the Qt "configure" step to avoid the debug build at least. Here's the example for Qt 4.8 from the wiki:
$ ./configure -fast -opensource -confirm-license -release
Also, you should disable building examples and demos, which you can only (?) do by editing the file "projects.pro" ( prior to running configure!), commenting out the two lines with "SUBDIRS += examples" and "SUBDIRS += demos":
...
#process the projects
for(PROJECT, $$list($$lower($$unique(QT_BUILD_PARTS)))) {
isEqual(PROJECT, tools) {
SUBDIRS += tools
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, examples) {
# SUBDIRS += examples
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, demos) {
# SUBDIRS += demos
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, libs) {
include(src/src.pro)
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, docs) {
contains(QT_BUILD_PARTS, tools):include(doc/doc.pri)
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, translations) {
!contains(QT_BUILD_PARTS, tools):!wince*:SUBDIRS += tools/linguist/lrelease
SUBDIRS += translations
} else:isEqual(PROJECT, qmake) {
# SUBDIRS += qmake
} else {
message(Unknown PROJECT: $$PROJECT)
}
}
...
