Problems with MAC (string.h: No such file or directory) [solved]

JorgeVdB

I have been reading about the deployment tool but I have any doubts ...

Could I use QtCretor? or by terminal?
To have the frameworks and plugins folders, simply creates into de app folder? or Do I need to compile in a different manner?

Thanks!!!

You need to run it from terminal. If Qt is properly installed, it will do everything automatically for you (copy libs + plugins, adjust paths, add info.plist, etc.).

I have already compile by terminal, but the package has the same structure that if I compile wth QtCreator.

I don't know if I need to change something in the makefile...

Thanks a lot!!!

sierdzio

macdeployqt is a binary tool that has to be used after the compilation. This is not a build step specified in the makefile, and it does not matter whether you have compiled from terminal or Qt Creator. You just need to run the tool afterwards, from the terminal, and preferably with high verbosity level to make sure you spot errors (macdeployqt does not bail out on most errors).

Hi!!!!

I understand MAC manner each day.

I follow all the instructions in the web. When I execute the instructions, I have no problem.

But when I finish linking all the libraries that my program needs, and the same with the libraries including, both my program and my libraries doesn't change anything (with the otool -L instruction)

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi!!!!

Forget my last reply, my problem is before.

I don't know where I have to transform the Qt to a static library. The ./configure static instruction doesn't work in any place.

I have installed Qt5.0.1 and Qt4.8.4. I use Qt4.8.4 to compile.

The frameworks are in /Library/Frameworks and the plugins are in /Developer/Application/Qt/plugins.

When I installed I didn't change anything.

What I have to do???

Super Thanks in advance!!!

Muchas gracias por adelantado!!!

I have had an error in the last post, I use ./configure -static

In http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html#application-dependencies uses this instruction in the Qt path but in my /Developer/application/Qt/ doesn't work...

Thanks!!!

Inside the Qt folder I have:

Assistant.app Linguist.app imports pixeltool.app qdbusviewer.app qtdemo.ap
Designer.app QMLViewer.app phrasebooks plugins qhelpconverter.app translations

I have realized that I have Xcode 3.0 another time I don't know why... Can be the problem?

Ohh God I hate MAC...

sierdzio

You are not alone :)

Yeah it would probably be better to upgrade to Xcode 4.x, although the compilation should work with 3.x, too.

JorgeVdB

But, why it's possible that MAC unistall alone things??

sierdzio

Sorry, I don't understand that question, please rephrase.

JorgeVdB

Oh nothing, I thought that when I installed the new version, automatically remove the Xcode 3.0.

sierdzio

Xcode 3 has a different unistallation procedure than 4.6. IIRC, you need to run /Developer/xcode_uninstall or something similar. Search the web, there are tutorials on that.

JorgeVdB

And it's possible that I have problems with Qt? and with ./configure instruction???

Having both versions...

JorgeVdB

When I use ./configure -static, terminal answer me:

-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory.

Any idea??

sierdzio

Well, ss the script present in the directory you are in?

Hi, configure is found in the root directory of Qt's sources

JorgeVdB

Hi!!,

My Qt directory is in /Developer/Tools/Qt (and Qt5.0.1) and no one has configure...
