Building Qt for iOS

Question

I'm trying to go through the following tutorial to get a simple sample Qt app running on the iOS simulator.

https://www.qt.io/blog/2013/03/05/qt-for-ios-preview

I get to step 3 and run the following commmand

./configure -xplatform unsupported/macx-ios-clang -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -release [-sdk iphonesimulator]

I get back the following

[-sdk: unknown argument iphonesimulator]: unknown argument

Note: I'm on a mac with XCode installed

Answer 1

the -sdk values come from $ xcodebuild -showsdks

Answer 2

[-sdk iphonesimulator] didn't work for me, I had to strip the brackets off.
