QT Creator with SDL (OSX, Windows)

[douglett]

Hi, I am trying to get QT creator to run in these environments to compile a simple SDL app. I have SDL installed in the correct location, and am compiling with the following .pro:

@
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += main.cpp

CONFIG -= x86_64
CONFIG += x86
INCLUDEPATH += /Library/Frameworks
INCLUDEPATH += /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers
LIBS += -framework Cocoa -framework SDL

OBJECTIVE_SOURCES += SDLMain.m
HEADERS += SDLMain.h
@

The compiler error I get is:

@
ld: framework not found SDL
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [sdltest] Error 1
@

Suggesting that the framework was not found. Any info or help would be appreciated.

EDIT: this issue is for OSX at the moment.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You might be missing:

@LIBS += -F/Library/Frameworks@

Hi, thanks for the reply. I ended up with the following:

@
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -F/Library/Frameworks
@

But both accomplish the same goal (I prefer to use yours). I checked the man page for the linker, and it says this:

bq. The -L option will add a new library search path. The default framework search path is /Library/Frameworks then /System/Library/Frameworks. The -F option will a new framework search path. The -Z option will remove the standard search paths.

So that explains that :). For anyone searching for this, my app entry point turned out to be:
int SDL_main(int argc, char** argv)

Cheers, i'll pop in if I have more problems with the windows build this afternoon.
