    Hi,

    I am pretty new to using Qt with Mac. I have used it a bit for windows. I experimented with making a ver simple application and compiled it for Qt5.3 clang 64 bit release.

    I then made an installer doing something like this:
    mv MacApplication.app SenonicsMacApplication_1.0.18.app
    ~/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt SenonicsMacApplication_1.0.18.app -dmg -qmldir=/Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.3/clang_64/qml -verbose=3

    The installer SenonicsMacApplication_1.0.18.dmg seems to have worked on some other MACs I have tried but one one then I get some error about not being able to find ...Qt5/Svg.

    Dyld Error Message:
    Library not loaded: /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtSvg.framwork/Versions/5/QtSvg
    Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/SenonicsMacApplication_1.0.18.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication
    Reason: image not found

    I am using SVG icons - in my .pro file I have
    QT += svg
    QTPLUGIN += qsvg

    Does any one know what I might be doing wrong?

    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    Check your application once deployed and verify that you have the QtSvg framework inside. Once that's done, verify the executable and svg plugin using otool -L. You'll see if one of the libraries is still pointing to your local Qt

    Hi,

    Thanks for this. So I went and run the otool -L.
    Indeed there seem to be some that are point to local version on my machine.

    Is this the problem?
    How can I get them to be included propperly?

    Thanks
    Mark

    Yes it's the problem.

    After a run of macdeployqt they should all points inside the app bundle. Did you run otool after macdeployqt or on a new build ?

    Hi @SGaist,

    Thanks again for your ideas…. I will try to give some more details of my sequence….

    (a) I am running Qt 5.3.2 (Clang 5.1 (Apple), 64 bit)
    I run Qt5.3 Clang 64 bit release mode.

    (b) If I try tool -L on the generated app then it shows this…. (notice the hard links)

    marks-air:before_deployment markbrooks$ otool -L MacApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication

    MacApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.14.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 275.0.0)
    /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtSvg.framework/Versions/5/QtSvg (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/DiskArbitration.framework/Versions/A/DiskArbitration (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/AGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 60.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)

    (c) I then make the deployment using….
    ~/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt MacApplication.app -dmg -qmldir=/Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.3/clang_64/qml -verbose=3

    For this deployment then I extract and use tool -L again…. (notice the @executable_path)
    marks-air:after_deployment markbrooks$ otool -L MacApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication

    MacApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.14.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 275.0.0)
    @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtSvg.framework/Versions/5/QtSvg (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/DiskArbitration.framework/Versions/A/DiskArbitration (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/AGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 60.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)

    So it seems to have at least changed to include an @executable_path.

    (d) How come then when someone else tries to run this they get an error and it says….

    Dyld Error Message:
    Library not loaded: /Users/markbrooks/Qt/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtSvg.framwork/Versions/5/QtSvg
    Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/SenonicsMacApplication_1.0.18.app/Contents/MacOS/MacApplication Reason: image not found

    Any ideas?
    What is @execution_path and how does it get defined for another PC.

    Regards
    Mark

    So the application is ok, next step is to check the Qt frameworks bundled and I'd say that they are all okay except QtSvg

    Hi @SGaist,

    Well at least all the frameworks seem to exist... I checked the frameworks direstory in the application...

    marks-air:after_deployment markbrooks$ ls MacApplication.app/Contents/Frameworks/

    QtCore.framework
    QtMultimedia
    Quick_p.framework
    QtQml.framework
    QtSvg.framework
    QtGui.framework
    QtNetwork.framework
    QtQuick.framework
    QtTest.framework
    QtMultimedia.framework
    QtPrintSupport.framework
    QtQuickTest.framework
    QtWidgets.framework

    I think I also tried it on an application that did not use SVGs and it also had the same problem... So I am suspicious of something more fundamental.

    /Mark

    Just a minute @SGaist, it could be I have some .dmgs made with the link and others with hard paths. I need to double check some things.....

    Just to be sure, check the frameworks with otool also

    Hi @SGaist,

    The reason for being a little silent was that I was rechecking versions that had been tested on other Macs to get my assumptions checked again.

    The version which was failing had hard links and the deployment was not right I think because I ran "macdeploy" from somewhere other than the build directory - I guess rather silly because now I remember in the instructions I found from someone they said to be in the build directory when doing it.....

    Anyway, after I re-built it again standing in the build directory then all frameworks are relative links and also the frameworks themselves are also relative links and even better the the application works on the other machines.

    So I think we are closed on this thread and at least I have learnt more. Thanks for your great pointers on trying to figure this out.....

    /Mark

    No problem, as long as you can solve your problem ;)

    You're welcome !

    Since you have it working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
