Macos – How to add a Qt SDK in Qt Creator (Mac OS X)

macosqtqt-creator

I need to compile my Qt project using a static version of the Qt SDK.

So I have compiled from source a new SDK using these steps:

configure (+some options)
make
sudo make -j1 install

I think all these steps were successful and I can see the SDK in /usr/local/Trolltech. Then, as indicated on the reference, I have added these lines two my .profile file:

PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH

However, when I start Qt Creator, it is not using this new SDK but still using the one that was installed initially. How can I change that and make it use my new SDK?

In QtCreator's preferences, there's "Qt4" item (on the left) where you can specify path to your Qt manually.

Regarding PATH variable changes, they'll only be taken into account if you start QtCreator from Terminal.

You can try netstat
```
 netstat -vanp tcp | grep 3000
```
For macOS El Capitan and newer (or if your netstat doesn't support -p), use lsof
```
 lsof -i tcp:3000 
```
For Centos 7 use:
```
 netstat -vanp --tcp | grep 3000
```

On macOS Big Sur and later, use this command:

sudo lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN

or to just see just IPv4:

sudo lsof -nP -i4TCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN

On older versions, use one of the following forms:

sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN
sudo lsof -nP -i:$PORT | grep LISTEN

Substitute $PORT with the port number or a comma-separated list of port numbers.

Prepend sudo (followed by a space) if you need information on ports below #1024.

The -n flag is for displaying IP addresses instead of host names. This makes the command execute much faster, because DNS lookups to get the host names can be slow (several seconds or a minute for many hosts).

The -P flag is for displaying raw port numbers instead of resolved names like http, ftp or more esoteric service names like dpserve, socalia.

See the comments for more options.

For completeness, because frequently used together:

To kill the PID:

sudo kill -9 <PID>
# kill -9 60401
