How to add libraries to the program in MacOS?

Mikeeeeee

Hi!
I built the program in MakOS, how to add the necessary libraries to the program?

SGaist

Hi,

What libraries ?

Mikeeeeee

I do not know. On my computer program works, on someone else's not working.

SGaist

You know that this is a bit light on information ?
First thing, you should know what librairies you are using and deploying.
Then, what makes the computer of your user different from yours ?
Also, when an application crashes on macOS a report is generated. Ask your user to send you that report.

Mikeeeeee

But I sent the assembled application to someone else's computer. Computers differ only in that my is QT. The program works with SQLite.

SGaist

What do you mean by assembled ?
Did you use macdeployqt before sending the application ?
Are you using SQLite directly or are you using the QtSql module ?

Mikeeeeee

I use SQLite directly. How to use macdeployqt ?

quadbyte

SGaist

@mikeeeeee what about reading the documentation ?

But in this documentation there is no instruction how to collect libraries in a folder by the program.

@mikeeeeee the linked page can be a bit overwhelming
take a look at the section specific to to macdeploymenttool:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos-deployment.html#the-mac-deployment-tool

I didn't understand. I very recently got acquainted with Makos. How do I copy the required libraries to the program folder? Are there examples?

Mikeeeeee

Maybe QtInstallerFramework can help?

the macdeployment tool does it for you, that's the point, and the docu section has an example on how to call it

Its work
