Description
I get an error when trying to configure qt3-mac on Lion. I have all dependencies installed. How do I fix this? Is this the same type of error as that which occurs on Snow Leopard documented at Ticket #21459? Thanks so much for your help.

As it says in the log:
error: #error "This version of Mac OS X is unsupported"
And as Vince said in comment:ticket:21459:7:
qt3 is outdated, and if any effort is to be made to port it to Snow Leopard, it must be Trolltech's and not ours.
So if you desire Qt3 on Lion, you should report that to the developers of Qt (now Nokia).
That said, it may be a simple matter of informing the Qt3 build system that it's ok to install on Lion. You're welcome to give that a try, and let us know if it works.

I changed the file qglobal.h so that I could install using Mac OS 10.7 and still get an error. Please see main.2.log. Any other changes you can suggest? Thanks again.

Has duplicate #31298.

The log shows it's using QuickDraw stuff. The only way this is ever going to build is with the headers from the 10.6 SDK, and that probably won't be around either in future releases.

The above mentioned commit prevents compilation of qt3-mac on Lion and later.
I see absolutely no benefit of wasting any time making a dead horse (Qt 3) work on a dead OS version (Lion) where it might be hypothetically possible to make it work, but it won't work on 10.8 or later almost for sure anyway, so zero benefit. After all qt3-mac is broken even on <= 10.6 (#39249).
This might have made sense 6 years ago when this ticket was opened and software still wasn't ported to Qt 4, but it no longer does now.
