[SOLVED] Building Qt 5.3 Alpha on Mac: webkitwidgets and webkit built successfully, but are unavailable

Violet Giraffe

QtWebKit.framework is far from empty, 183.4 MB. It is located at the correct path.
I get this error when running qmake on a .pro file that has QT += webkit

Mac OS X requires some additional steps to be done if you build it by yourself.

What does otool -L shows?
@
otool -L /Qt_install_root/lib/QtWebKit.framework/QtWebKit
@

if it does not show correct path to QtWebKit then you need to modify it using install_name_tool
@
install_name_tool -change QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets /Qt_install_root/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets /Qt_install_root/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets
@

The same steps need to be done for all shared libraries.

"Qt for Mac OS X - Deployment":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/macosx-deployment.html gives more details on it.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't see anything wrong here:

I want to stress that my application uses core, gui, network, script, opengl, widgets and webkit components, of which webkit is the only problematic one. If I remove webkit dependency from the application, I can build and run it no problem.

andreyc

Is it possible that you have another version of Qt without webkit and you run qmake from that Qt?

Violet Giraffe

No, I don't believe so. i've got 3 versions of Qt, of which all have webkit. Plus, I'm running qmake from Qt Creator where I have 3 kits configured, so I'm pretty sure I've got the right qmake.

andreyc

Try to run qmake manually with -d option
@
qmake -d -recursive your_sources_dir
@

It will produce a lot of info

andreyc

And just to be sure run qmake -v to verify that you are calling qmake from correct Qt.

Violet Giraffe

If I run qmake manually from an arbitrary dir, I will get qmake for 4.8.5 which, apparently, I have in PATH and I need to preserve this behaviour. In Qt creator, I have all my 3 Qt versions configured, and I have manually pointed each to the right qmake.

Violet Giraffe

Aha! It was a problem with qmake. It was the right qmake, but I was using a copy located elsewhere. Once I pointed to the same qmake in /usr/local/Qt-5.3.../bin, it all started working. Thanks!
