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

SGaist

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 ?

JorgeVdB

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!!!

SGaist

Did you run macdeployqt ?

JorgeVdB

Yes, I followed this instructions

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html

Thanx!!!

SGaist

So it's working now ?

JorgeVdB

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

JorgeVdB

Any idea?... I am totally lost...I don't understand why these libraries doesn't appear...

JorgeVdB

Hi!!!,

I find this instruction

@macdeployqt Herr....app/@

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

@ERROR: no file at "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.5.dylib" @

And if I do it again,

With this, any ides?

SGaist

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.

JorgeVdB

Then, what I have to do?

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

SGaist

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

JorgeVdB

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?

SGaist

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

JorgeVdB

yes...

Thank you, before I forget...

SGaist

Add this

@
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>myApp.icns</string>
@

To your Info.plist

And put the myApp.icns in your bundle Contents/Resources folder

JorgeVdB

Done.... but no change... What I have to do now??

SGaist

In your pro file:

@
ICON = myApp.icns
QMAKE_INFO_PLIST = Info.plist@

JorgeVdB

And compile and link the libraries once again???

No other way???

I am watching, that in the original .pro file no appear this line, and the original developer used this .pro file.

JorgeVdB

I continue research, and when I change things in the info.plist with the Property List Editor nothing change.

Even I changed the name of the Executable.

JorgeVdB

You don't care, when I make the installer the icon appear...
