I managed to solve this particular issue by adding #ifdef __APPLE__ #define __ASSERT_MACROS_DEFINE_VERSIONS_WITHOUT_UN

I ran into the same problem. sipconfig generates the Makefile. Therefore, tweaking cmake flags does not work. It seems, homebrew's current (bottled) version of sip (418.1) is not fully compatible with homebrew's current version of qt5 (5.7.1_1). I finally ended up editing the configuration in sipconfig.py. The changes I made to

/usr/local/Cellar/sip/4.18.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sipconfig.py

are: Inside _pkg_config

  'platform':           'macx-clang++',

and

  'qt_framework':       1,

Inside _default_macros

  'CXXFLAGS':                 '-pipe -std=c++11',

With these changes, the generated Makefiles worked.

In case you are using the ros-install-osx install script, you can just add -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -DQT_MAC_USE_COCOA" to the catkin config call. This is brute force, but prevents any modification inside the source tree.

The problem is that rviz erroneously sets macAPI to carbon although it is cocoa - qt5 (5.7.1) is missing the define QT_MAC_USE_COCOA. After editing rviz/src/rviz/ogre_helpers/render_system.cpp, I got rviz to start.

I replaced

// Set the macAPI for Ogre based on the Qt implementation
#ifdef QT_MAC_USE_COCOA
  params["macAPI"] = "cocoa";
  params["macAPICocoaUseNSView"] = "true";
#else
  params["macAPI"] = "carbon";
#endif

by

// Set the macAPI for Ogre based on the Qt implementation
  params["macAPI"] = QT_QPA_DEFAULT_PLATFORM_NAME;
  params["macAPICocoaUseNSView"] = "true";

I am using ogre 1.7.4 by the way.
