Question

can you help me a little bit with the Terminal?

i would like to use these command lines :

cd /path/to/Qt
./configure -static <other parameters>
make sub-src

so i open the Terminal, and write cd then i drag QtSDK and it shows me this path : /Developer/Applications/Qt

EDIT :
so i guess the 3 lines must be copied one after the other…

i wrote those lines in a row, but this time i’ve got no error message, nor any responses if i try to write “-help” just after ./configure , as if it wasn’t working. I’m following this tutorial from the doc : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/osx-deployment.html
Any idea?

Answer 1

Im not sure what youre trying to do. Write a script to do it for you. her is a little bit of help.

if you type

pwd

it will return your current location. This way you can find out where you are.

Users/Paul/QtSDK

if the above is your goal,

pwd

should return

/Users/Paul

This means, to Change directory (cd), all you have to do is

cd QtSDK

This is assuming QtSDK is located in your user folder.
you can do

ls

to find out.
The following is the output of my ls in my home directory or “/Users/cy/

#:~ cy$ pwd
/Users/cy
#:~ cy$ ls
Desktop     Downloads   Movies      Pictures    Sites
Documents   Library     Music       Public

You should also see your QtSDK folder there.
To restart your location, go back to where it should begin. Type:

cd

with nothing else.
this will put you back to your home folder..
Last but not least,

 <Other Prams> 

should be replace with the actual prams and not to be left as you have shown in your code
