      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_PATH

              Still 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_PATH

                          then:
                          grep -E "^setenv" /etc/launchd.conf | xargs -t -L 1 launchctl

                          Now when I launch Qt creator from dock , it find the libs fine.

                          Thanks , again.
