OSX Pre-Built Binaries - missing dylibs?

pearse

I've installed the pre-built Qt 5.12.4 binaries through the qt-unified-mac-x64-3.1.1-online application. However I do not see any dylib files in the lib directory. I need to redistribute the dynamic libraries but all I see are *.a static libraries. I don't see any option to install dynamic libraries during the installation process either. Am I missing something?

Hi,

Yes you are. The pre-built packages provides frameworks in that folder not "naked" .dylib files.

Hmm. I am including all of the pre-built the frameworks in my bundle. My application is running on my build machine after configuring CMakeLists.txt to point CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory containing qmake, and finding all components (Widgets, OpenGL, Core, and Gui). It crashes after installing on an OSX test machine.

Is there more that's needed than including the frameworks in my bundle?

The system report indicates a problem in the Core framework.

Qt provides the macdeployqt helper that will prepare the bundle for you. You should give it a try.

Thanks SGaist.

Our build system is complex and I'm trying to modify it as little as possible. I'll look into adding macdeployqt, linuxdeployqt, and windeployqt to our system as a last resort.

Frameworks usually go in the the Frameworks folder that is one level higher than the executable path. Update your install_name_tool commands to take that into account.
