Qt 4.0 rc1 won't build on Mac OS X Tiger w/ XCode 2.1

I understand XCode 2.1 is a lot more anal about types than XCode 2.0 was, so I suspect that might be the issue, but....

I'm getting errors trying to build Qt 4.0 rc1 from source on Tiger. The error looks like:

(and pages and pages more errors)

Any idea how to fix this?

ICK -- system headers not compliant with gcc4?

So I've done some research on this.

Apparently this is a "feature" of gcc4 in that it's now implementing the spec correctly, at the expense of working code.

XCode 2.1 merged a ton of the gcc 4.0.0 final fixes since XCode 2.0's release.

The problem is, it's not properly casting <<'s to an integer from an enum, ie, /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/IntlResources.h contains:

Source code

enum {
                                        /* One more flag in the itlcFlags byte */
  itlcDisableKeyScriptSync      = 3     /*Disable font and keyboard script synchrinozation*/
};

enum {
                                        /* We should define masks, too. */
  itlcDisableKeyScriptSyncMask  = 1 << itlcDisableKeyScriptSync /*Disable font and keyboard script synchrinozation mask*/
};

...changing it to:

Source code

enum {
                                        /* One more flag in the itlcFlags byte */
  itlcDisableKeyScriptSync      = 3     /*Disable font and keyboard script synchrinozation*/
};

enum {
                                        /* We should define masks, too. */
  itlcDisableKeyScriptSyncMask  = 1 << int(itlcDisableKeyScriptSync) /*Disable font and keyboard script synchrinozation mask*/
};

...fixes it, but obviously, f**king with system headers is bad. Did I miss an upgrade? Did apple fail to test any of their frameworks against xcode 2.1?

Is there any way to work around this that doesn't include messing with system headers? It looks like it might be an issue with QNoDebug overloading, but I don't really know C++ enough to have any idea what's going on...

Don't you love it when people solve their own issues?

This appears to be a bug in gcc4, qt4, or both, but I'll let trolltech worry about it. The workaround is to include the apple headers before the Qt debug headers:
