[solved] Glib libgpod mac os x Compile error
-
Do you have several Qt Creator installed ?
-
Then you have your Qt 5.1.1 Qt Creator starting and this one can't handle 5.2.
Try calling open with -b /Path/to/Your/5.2/Qt Creator.app
-
I tried
open tesrre.pro -b /Users/tom/Qt5.2.0/QtCreator.app
And get:
LSGetApplicationForInfo() failed with error -10814 while trying to determine the application with bundle identifier /Users/tom/Qt5.2.0/QtCreator.app.
-
Sorry, my bad, it's -a
-
I have uninstalled all versions of Qt , and reinstalled from the latest 5.2.1
Created a new application and tried again. Now it is asking me for glib2-development package.
Cannot find this on homebrew and no where to compile from source. So have just installed Macports and now installed glib2-devel. seems like it just installed the same files that were already present with the homebrew port, with some documentation.
Still not working and error saying:
Project ERROR: glib-2.0 development package not found
-
You might need to add /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
-
I think the PKG_CONFIG_PATH is fine as it is now seeing glib-2.0 , but is now asking for development package.
After installing with macports doing pkg config --list-all shows the same as before , so think the development package has not installed.
Not really sure what I am supposed to see after installing it.
Do you know a better way of installing? -
Do you have something like
@export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
in your .profile file ?
-
Yeah just added something similar to my .profile . It contains the following:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATHStill the same. Tried launching from terminal again.
Funny, I have tried on a ubuntu install and it just works. Was amazed at how easy it was.
-
Did you source the file before testing ? Otherwise the changes won't take effect
-
No , I did not know about that. Just tried but the same.
Just found the follwing page, which has helped a bit:
"sing-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16972066/using-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx
Basically I have added the following to my .pro file:
@QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config@
So now I have :
@QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config
CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += libgpod-1.0 taglib@This however will only work if I launch the project from within terminal.
There are suggestions of fixes for Qt Creator , but none of them seem to work. -
I personally always start Qt Creator from the command line to ensure that it will have the environment set by .profile

Thanks for the above. I done the following:
sudo nano /etc/launchd.conf
added:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATHthen:
grep -E "^setenv" /etc/launchd.conf | xargs -t -L 1 launchctlNow when I launch Qt creator from dock , it find the libs fine.
Thanks , again.
