Framework headers
-
The framework's real name is CsoundLib64.framework. Sorry for any confusion. I got it from the csound website "csounds.com" when I downloaded the "csound-develop" developer tools, version 6.10.0 from there.
-
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -F/path/to/folder/containing/the/framework LIBS += -F/path/to/folder/containing/the/framework -framework CsoundLib64The first line is to generate the include path that allows you to write
#include <CsoundLib64/csound.h>
The second is for the linking. -
The only error I got after I added your two lines of code is:
'CsoundLib64/csound.h' file not found
I entered '#include <CsoundLib64/csound.h>' at the top of my mainwindow.h file but the compiler doesn't seem to be picking it up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -
Not knowing how your project is made, try with
QMAKE_CFLAGSin place ofQMAKE_CXXFLAGS. -
I tried your C based technique but I'm still getting the same ''CsoundLib64/csound.h' file not found' error. I think the problem might actually be because the path to the CsoundLIb64.framework is this:
../CsoundLib64.framework/Headers/csound.h
NOT CsoundLib64.framework/csound.h.
This is a simple problem but I haven't found an alternate path and include pair for my .pro and mainwindow.h files. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated. -
I fixed the immediate problem but I am working with a toolset that is new to me so there's a chance I'll be back in this forum sometime relatively soon. Thank you very much for your help.

No it's not, macOS framework headers are expected to be found in the Headers subfolder and should be included using the
#include <FrameworkName/includename.h>statement.Please show your .pro file.
From what you wrote I suspect you are using relative paths to source folder which is not a good idea. Use
$$PWDif you are doing that to ensure that tools get a the full path to where your framework is. -

Here is my .pro file starting with the sources:

../CsoundLib64.framework/Versions/6.0/Headers/csound.hpp
When I attempt to include an existing library into my .pro file, CsoundLib64.framework here, w/control-right-click "Add libraries"
Qt Creator generates, what I think is, an ABSOLUTE path shown above as
mac: LIBS += -F$$PWD/../../../../Library/Frameworks/ -framework CsoundLib64
in the last section of my .pro file.These are the two techniques I used to implement the necessary library/framework and header files into my .pro file.
When including csound.hpp into my main.cpp file I use
#include <CsoundLib64.framework/csound.hpp>
at the top of my main.cpp (where my actual code implementation goes - left out here), I get the error:
'CsoundLib64.framework/csound.hpp' file not found
When I change my main.cpp #includeS to
#include <CsoundLib64.framework/Versions/6.0/Headers/csound.hpp>
or
#include <CsoundLib64.framework/Headers/csound.hpp>
which are two ways to #include my csound.hpp header fIle, that (might) complement my .pro file above I get these two errors:
symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 &
linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I know that the second error means that something in my project isn't linking, but I don't know what the second error implies.
Any assistance with these build errors and information of Qt build processes in general would be greatly appreciated. -
Don't use the
~that's a bash shortcut that must be interpreted.Then your
-Fvalue is wrong, you have to put there the path to the folder that contains the .framework you want to use. It's an equivalent of the-Lparameter for libraries. -
@SGaist
I have fixed the problem - I'm now implementing the tools that I have wanted to implement without any long lasting errors. I just started a new project over and doing that led me to solve my problems (along with your techniques & guidance) though I would like to leave it out of this context here in the forum.
Thank you for your time and patience.
