Qt OSX deploying SQL drivers.

Peppy

Hello guys, I am currently having some troubles to deploy my application and run it properly: I am using SQL driver for my database but when I try to launch application, it says:

@
// The list of all libraryPaths() from QCoreApplication.
("/Users/pb1/Projects/build-app-Debug/src/app/app.app/Contents/plugins", "/Developer/Qt/5.3/clang_64/plugins", "/Users/pb1/Projects/build-app-Debug/src/app/app.app/Contents/MacOS")

"/Users/pb1/Projects/build-app-Debug/src/app"

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSQLITE QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7
"Driver not loaded Driver not loaded" -1 "-1"
@

I have manually added MySQL driver to @./Contents/plugins/@ and @./Contents/plugins/sqldrivers/@ but it did not work. What shall I do? I don't have any clue, thanks.

Hi,

did you use macdeployqt before deploying ?

Peppy

I have added:
@
QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote(macdeployqt $${OUTPUT}/App.app)
@

SGaist

You should rather run it from the command line, it should not be a part of the build process

Peppy

okay, the I have run it from external shell but it still did not help. Still it can't reach the plugin.

SGaist

Did you get any error messages when running macdeployqt ?

Peppy

No, not at all.

SGaist

That's pretty surprising, which version of Qt are you using ?

Did you call it on a clean rebuild of your application ?

Peppy

Qt 5.3.0 and not, not yet... I will give it a shot ASAP.

Peppy

Nothing really happened. :/

Sql plugins should be deployed however you might have problem with the sql client library, a patch for macdeployqt is waiting review.

I just spotted one thing that is wrong on your end: on OS X the folder name is not plugins it's PlugIns
