Maybe the problem is that I am using the install version of Qt? You 
mention a "qt-5.9.9-frameworks-cocoa-x86_64  (QTDIR for 5.9.9)" and 
"qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.9 (source)". Where do I get these 
from? What is the Qt source needed for?

I have added the Qt sources via the installer but that didn't help 
either. It does not matter whether I use any of these

--with-qt-dir=/Users/dram/Qt
--with-qt-dir=/Users/dram/Qt/5.9.9
--with-qt-dir=/Users/dram/Qt/5.9.9/clang_64
--with-qt-dir=/Users/dram/Qt/5.9.9/clang_64/bin

I can build the Qt example apps via Qt designer.

Does anyone have a further idea what might be going on?
