Error: Could not resolve SDK path for 'macosx10.8'

Question

So I just installed qt around 5 minutes ago, and when I wanted to code a simple line of text in the Push Button and try to run it, I got this error:

:-1: error: Coul

Answer 1

Using QT 5.7.0, Mac OSX Sierra (10.12), XCode 8.0, I got the typical error coming from searching in:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk

instead of:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk

Adding the line

!host_build:QMAKE_MAC_SDK = macosx10.12

to the Qt/5.7/clang_64/mkspecs/qdevice.pri file, worked for me.
