Looks like deprecated API: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/ColorSync_Manager/index.html#//apple_ref/c/func/CMCloseProfile

Qt note: to stand any hope of this being fixed you'll need to submit a patch to their Gerrit. I wouldn't even bother with a bug report at this point.

[firedev]

Bye capybara?

[DomT4]

Moved to tracking in #40837.

[dvcrn]

Any workarounds on this?

[DomT4]

None. You're welcome to report it upstream to Qt as a bug, but I wouldn't expect quick action unless someone submits a patch as well.

I'm having the same problem when I try to install wireshark with the command:
brew install wireshark --with-qt
Here's my gist: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/885e29e9f8c886b53b84

I'm also running 10.11.

Looks like there is a patch available here: https://gitlab.com/pteam/pteam-qtbase/commit/b06304e164ba47351fa292662c1e6383c081b5ca

[ejtttje]

Hmm, that patch is a bit outdated—won't apply as-is—but it does seem to have the right idea.
Here's an updated version: https://gist.github.com/ejtttje/7163a9ced64f12ae9444

[DomT4]

If you submit that as a bug report, or to their code review, and get some kind of response to the issue from Qt I'm happy to consider us adding it as a patch for >= 10.11.

The patch in http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=b06304e164ba47351fa292662c1e6383c081b5ca isn't outdated. It's too new: it was designed for Qt 5.2.

[MikeMcQuaid]

@thiagomacieira Is there any chance a back port would be accepted? Qt (4) is our 65th most downloaded package and once 10.11 ships significant numbers of people will be wanting to install it on 10.11.

[thiagomacieira]

No, there is none. Qt 4.8 will only receive security bugfixes and this does not qualify as such. Please keep a patch locally on homebrew instead.

[MikeMcQuaid]

@thiagomacieira Will there be any more security patch releases of Qt 4?

[thiagomacieira]

There might be. It's impossible to tell.

BTW, I urge you to never build using the -qt-libxxx options in 4.8 anymore. The bundled versions are too old. Insist on and require the system versions of those libraries.

[HYR]

Just FYI for those who are still coming across this issue. A simple update and upgrade now fixes the issue.

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade qt

(Note: be sure to accept Xcode's agreement if you hadn't already, otherwise the upgrade fails. Once accepted then brew upgrade qt works.)
