    To make sure I understood you right: you have built your own Qt ?

        Then you have to look for the plugins in your Qt installation path.
        Custom Qt
        Qt 4:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.4
        Qt 5:/usr/local/Qt-5.0.2

        With MacPorts : somewhere in /opt/local but I can't remember right now precisely where (they might be following Qt's default)

              Do a global search for the files you need, if they are missing, it means that you didn't build everything.

                I did the search but I didn't find anything.

                Can I download the libraries?? or someone send me??

                  Wait wait wait, I think, we are getting lost.

                  Remind me what exactly is your problem ? Did you already do a full rebuild of your application ?

                    Ok, sorry my english is not very good...

                    When I compiled the application, it didn't work because needs some plugins and frameworks.

                    Then I began to link all the plugins and frameworks that my program needs.

                    At first no problem,

                    • I created the plugin and framework folder in the bundle.
                    • I copied plugins or frameworks from my internal files to the bundle.
                    • I changed the source of the frameworks to the executable_path (install_name_tool ....)

                    But my problem come when I need /qmltooling/libtcpserver.dylib, because it isn't in my folder (/Developer/Aplications/Qt/)

                    Thanks!!!

                            No, I followed the instructions but the problem continues because I don't find two libraries that my applicaction needs.

                                Hi!!!,

                                I find this instruction

                                It makes the same that I did manually before, but when I use it returns this

                                And if I do it again,

                                  The first error means that it has found a dependency on libpq and simply failed to copy it from /usr/local/pgsql/lib. You might have it elsewhere and have to copy it manually.

                                  The warnings on the second run is normal since you already ran macdeployqt. You can see it on line 3.

                                    Then, what I have to do?

                                    Copy the library and overwrite in the qt.conf??

                                      First thing, copy the library (don't forget to update its paths) and try to run your application.

                                        After two months, my application works!!!!! without qmltooling plugin...

                                        But now I have one doubt, I hope the last one ;-)

                                        The original bundle has an icon, and I have watched that in the qt.conf do a reference to this icon.

                                        How I change this icon?

                                          Do you mean the icon that is shown to the user ? (i.e. the music note for iTunes ?)
