[solved] Unable to deploy Qt Quick 2 application on Mac OS X 10.8.2
-
Run macdeployqt with highest level of verbosity. This tool does not bail out on errors, you can only be sure everything worked well if you read the log.
-
Tried macdeployqt with verbose=3 still not able to figure out what is the problem. Here is log using otool -L of my test.app

Nope, that does not help. I'm sure I've seen a solution to this somewhere, but I don't remember what it was. You can try pinging chrisadams I think he's quite fluent in that stuff.
-
Thanks a lot sierdzio. I'll ask him. If there is any progress with this issue I'll post solution here.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I know nothing about Mac or this deployment tool. Thiago mentioned on IRC that from the logs it looks like it's unable to find the QtQuick plugin (the QML import plugin) even though it's finding the QtQuick library (the library is what is shown in the logs).
The plugin src is from qtdeclarative/src/imports/qtquick2
It's installed to the QML2 plugins directory (which can be specified via QML2_IMPORT_PATHI don't know where that tool looks for the plugins, but the default install location is something like QT5DIR/qml/QtQuick.2 (or maybe QT5DIR/plugins/qml/QtQuick.2 I can't remember - oops).
Cheers,
Chris. -
Thank you for your reply Chris. I'll try to manually copy all needed plugins and libs.
-
Hey,
This is working solution for deploying QML applications on MAC OS X: https://github.com/MaximAlien/macdeployqtfixed.git
Hope it helps you guys.
-
Hey,
Did you test code I provided? I tried deploying it for Qt 5.1 only once and there were some issues with paths. I'll try it more this evening.
If I manage to deploy it correctly I'll write here.
Cheers,
Max. -
I'm testing it know, there is issue with a path, but I'm applying work around I described "here":http://stackoverflow.com/a/17591828/2370437
If I will manage to deploy, I will post here
-
Does not work for me.
macdeployqt MyApp.app/ -qmldir=../src/qml/
dynamic links information is changes inside executable and QtQuick modules were copied into the app bundle, near executable. But still getting an error:
main.qml:1 module "QtQuick" is not installed
Maybe it is connected with QML_IMPORT_PATH variable, or we need to specify somehow where application can find QtQuick modules
-
"Try this":https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,47906.

You suggested this hint sierdzio, thanks.
I tried it a couple of months ago and it doesn't work for me, even more it was updated Mar 19, 2013 9:43 AM, before Qt 5.1 release.
Cheers,
Max. -
Yeah, not sure why Ivan suddenly went silent on this.
-
miks131 you can try setting QML2_IMPORT_PATH in application pro file, this may help.
-
I'm using CMake ( have a lot of different components)
Made a quick check.
Tried to add a link to the directory which contains QtQuick and QtQuick.2 folders after deploy.@engine.addImportPath( QLatin1String("/Users/username/Projects/MyApp/bin/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/") );@
Does not work, the same result if I specify two path to QtQuick and QtQuick.2 folders
-
Path is correct for QML plugins.
Did you try copying all frameworks and plugins manually? -
Looks like macdeployqt needs to be slightly changed for Qt 5.1 because using otool utility for dependencies search before and after macdeployqt nothing changes.
App still uses dependencies from system, not in bundle.
-
There is another bug - executable contains doble slash in path to Qt dynamic libraries. Take a look here https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32379
That's why macdeployqt does not change links. But you can work it around. Just use install_name_tool to get rid of double slashes, before you run macdeployqt.
Well, I did try to copy QtQuick modules manually too.
But not a frameworks, there are a lot of dependencies with linking which has to be resolved by install_name_tool - to get a self contain app bundle. So I'm using macdeployqt for copying Qt Framework.
-
I see. Thanks
I'll try to check it this evening.
