Trying the MacOS build again

[B.J.]

I’ve got to throw in the towel for a bit here…I think it’s close, I just can’t figure out why the qml folder (with only Box2D inside) lands outside the app bundle when it builds, nor why I can’t use the gcompris.entitlements file to do a codesign…but here’re the steps I’m following, basically—these are the product of the old README, my tinkering, and Johnny’s support & suggestions.  When I “make package” at the end I get an app that crashes, and lib/qml/Box2D.2.0 is outside the main tree.  I’d love a fresh look from anyone who’d like to offer:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/gcompris.git
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd gcompris
cp platforms/macosx/config.h platforms/macosx/gcompris.pro platforms/macosx/gcompris.icns .
// need to figure out what should go in rcc & translations if created as per the README in platforms/macosx
{change src/core/CMakeLists.txt line 133, adding AND NOT APPLE after sailfishos}
{change src/core/CMakeLists.txt line 96, adding "set(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH TRUE)" in "APPLE" in "BUILD_STANDALONE"}
// ELIMINATE THIS STEP!  didn't work // {change src/core/CMakeLists.txt line 119, adding elseif(APPLE)  set(_lib_prefix "")
cd .. && mkdir build && cd build
export Qt5_DIR="/Users/faculty/Qt/5.9.3/clang_64/lib/cmake/Qt5"
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/faculty/Qt/5.9.3/clang_64/bin
qmake -config release ../gcompris/gcompris.pro
