Qt + VTK on Mac OS X 10.6: errors linking projects
-
Hi!
I'm UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to build the Qt + VTK examples included in VTK's 5.6.1 distribution (.../VTK/Examples/GUI/Qt/). Here's what I'm using:
- VTK distribution: 5.6.1
- Qt IDE: Qt creator 2.7.1 (based on Qt 4.7.0)
- Mac OS X version: 10.6.6
Also in the .pro project file on Qt I've included my vtk headers and lib directories:
@
INCLUDEPATH += /Users/catamigue/Documents/Migue/Developer/bin/vtk561/include/vtk-5.6
LIBS += -L/Users/catamigue/Documents/Migue/Developer/bin/vtk561Dyn/lib/vtk-5.6
@Regardless of the example I'm trying to build (Events, GraphicView, ImageViewer or SimpleView), after trying to build the project on Qt creator I always get the same error (in "Build issues" tab on Qt Creator):
:: error: symbol(s) not found
:: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusalso from the "compile output" tab I get this after building:
@

@from what I've read in other forums this might be an error during linking... and I don't know what to do!... Please, some guidance will be really appreciated...
Also some additional information of how vtk5.6.1 was built on my Mac:
- CMake version: 2.8.1.
- CMake parameters (using CMake interface, not command line):
@
BUILD_EXAMPLES = OFF
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = OFF
BUILD_TESTING = OFF
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = Release
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURE = x86_64
VTK_USE_GUI_SUPPORT = ON
VTK_USE_QT = ON
@I've also tried by recompiling VTK with universal binaries (by changing CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURE) and by building the projects in Qt Creator both in Debug and Release modes... And nothing!
I've also successfully built all of the Qt examples (not including VTK)...
Any comments?
Thanks,
Miguel[EDIT: code formatting, Volker]

Something with the bundled version of Qt in the SDK/Creator are broken. I'd suggest you download the current version 4.7.1 for Mac from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads (see "this thread": http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1103 for some further reading)

Hi!
I've just downloaded and install the current (4.7.1.) version (after completely uninstalling the previous one), and with no success... I'm not getting these:
ld: warning: directory '/tmp/qt-stuff-6474/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0/lib' following -L not found
ld: warning: directory '/tmp/qt-stuff-6474/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0/lib' following -F not foundwarnings anymore. However I'm still unable of building my Qt+VTK project from Qtcreator (I'm now working with the release candidate 2.1). In the end I get the same errors:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [SimpleView.app/Contents/MacOS/SimpleView] Error 1For now I've successfully managed to build the projects with CMake, but I'd still like to do everything from Qt creator, from coding to compiling and building the application.
Thanks!

Hi Volker,
As I mentioned in my previous post: I'm not getting those warnings (ld: warning: ...) anymore! Version 4.7.1 is already visible to Creator and I've already tried to compile the projects with this latest version.
However the errors persist:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [SimpleView.app/Contents/MacOS/SimpleView] Error 1Thanks again,
