osx clang and "is not a valid Mach-O binary"

ravas

Using Qt 5.5.1 / creator, OSX 10.11.1 and clang I get dialogs that popup after the build (during start up of the program) that say:

'/Users/one/Documents/LibreCAD/plugins/Makefile' is not a valid Mach-O binary (invalid magic 23232323)

'/Users/one/Documents/LibreCAD/plugins/plugins.pro' is not a valid Mach-O binary (invalid magic 232d2d2d)

'/Users/one/Documents/LibreCAD/plugins/plugins.sln' is not a valid Mach-O binary (invalid magic 4d696372)

'/Users/one/Documents/LibreCAD/plugins/README.plugins' is not a valid Mach-O binary (invalid magic 46697273)

Any idea why this would be happening? The program successfully loads after dismissing these dialogs.

Hi,

Do you mean you get that when opening the plugins.pro file with Qt Creator ?

@SGaist It happens when loading the program via Creator -- when you would see a splash screen.

Any chance you are doing an in-source build ?

IIRC, that might be the kind of message you get when trying to load a file that's not a plugin using Qt's plugin system.
