Building Qt Library for Qt for OpenHarmony in macOS

Prepare for third-party dependencies

Following instruction has been prepared based on macOS Sonoma 14.0. Does not represent a minimum dependency condition.

  • git version 2.39.3
  • python 3.12.0

System environments

Open ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc and add the following:

local HARMONY_OS_API_VER=12
local HOME_LIBRARY=${HOME}/Library
export OHOS_SDK_ROOT=${HOME_LIBRARY}/OpenHarmony/Sdk
export HOS_SDK_HOME=${HOME_LIBRARY}/OpenHarmony/Sdk
export OHOS_SDK_12=${HOS_SDK_HOME}/${HARMONY_OS_API_VER}
export NATIVE_OHOS_SDK=${OHOS_SDK_12}/native

Building Qt sources

You can use below script to build Qt for arm64-v8a target.

Please fill-in path to your local source directory.

#!/bin/sh

# Target architecure
ARCH="arm64-v8a"

# Source and build directories
QT5_ROOT_DIR=<ENTER PATH TO YOUR qt/qt5 DIRECORY>
QT5_BUILD_DIR="$QT5_ROOT_DIR/build_${ARCH}"

# Prepare build directory
mkdir "$QT5_BUILD_DIR"
cd "$QT5_BUILD_DIR"

# Hack lack of ES2
python3 "$QT5_ROOT_DIR/hack_the_es2_lack.py" ${NATIVE_OHOS_SDK}/sysroot

../configure \
    -v \
    -xplatform ohos-clang \
