<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>Building <a href="ios-support.html">Qt for iOS</a> from sources requires <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12">Xcode</a> with command-line tools installed. This can be done within Xcode from <b>Preferences</b> > <b>Downloads</b> > <b>Components</b> > <b>Command Line Tools</b>.</p>
<p>Qt 5 sources can be obtained either by cloning the repositories or downloading the source package(s).</p>
<p>We can then configure and build Qt. This is done from the Qt 5 top directory:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
> ./configure -xplatform macx-ios-clang -release
</pre>
<p>For other configure options, see <a href="configure-options.html">Qt Configure Options</a>.</p>
<p>Then, simply run <code>make</code>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>A default build will include both simulator and device libraries. If you want to build for a single target, use the <code>-sdk</code> argument with either <code>iphoneos</code> or <code>iphonesimulator</code>.</p></div>
