Build Error unknown type name 'QStringRef'; did you mean 'CFStringRef'?

[Kalanamith]

Getting the following error when building

/usr/local/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2/lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/qlocale.h:1033:25: error: 
      unknown type name 'QStringRef'; did you mean 'CFStringRef'?

Do you have qt 5 and 6 installed via brew? If so, you will need to uninstall qt6 before configuring / compiling.

Yep install qt5 as per installation guide

Not much more we can do here without more info. Can you provide a config.log or similar? Which version of the source are you building? etc. Will reopen when we've got more info.

I have the same error. Is there an alternative that is not downgrading qt?
