System: Mac OS X Sierra, Qt version: 5.7. I'm downloading the open source installer from qt.io/download-open-source . I'm installing it to Users/MyUserAccount and i want set it up so i can compile C++ code with qmake && make

Just to provide another solution using Homebrew.

As you've found QT4 isn't compatible with Mac OSX Sierra.

You can install QT5 using: 

brew install qt5

But you'll find you can't access qmake from the command line. To rectify this you'll need to run: 

brew link qt5 --force

If you want to run qmake from command line, add the directory where qmake is located to PATH environment variable. How to do it depends on the shell you are using, for bash it is done by adding export PATH=$PATH:<path_to_qmake> to either ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc.
