MySQL driver detected but not loading on MacOS

Vince2480

Thanks jsulm, I can see now it's looking for the files in /usr/local/mysql/lib that doesn't exist!

jsulm

@Vince2480 said in MySQL driver detected but not loading on MacOS:

/usr/local/mysql/lib

Can you post whole output?

jsulm

@Vince2480 You could try to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to folder containing libmysqlclient.20.dylib

Vince2480

@jsulm libmysqlclient.20.dylib is not on my system so does that means I need to install MySQL? I didn't do that for Qt5.4, has something changed between then and now?

jsulm

@Vince2480 said in MySQL driver detected but not loading on MacOS:

install MySQL?

Not the server, only client.

"has something changed between then and now?" - yes, the MySQL license has changed (since Oracle owns MySQL). Because of that QtCompany does not include MySQL client lib anymore in the Qt builds it's providing.

Vince2480

@jsulm OK, I see.

I installed

brew install mysql-client

only libmysqlclient.21.dylib so I linked with libmysqlclient.20.dylib
but it's the wrong architecture.

I downloaded mysql-connector-c++ but that doesn't look viable.
Where do I find the required files?

jsulm

@Vince2480 What does

file /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.26/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib

and

file /Users/vinceieraci/Qt/5.9.9/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib

output?

Vince2480

@jsulm Excuse my ignorance, I don't understand the question.

JonB

@Vince2480
From a command prompt/terminal/shell, copy & paste exactly each of the two lines @jsulm typed, and paste back here what response you get.

Vince2480

@JonB

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.26/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library

/Users/vinceieraci/Qt/5.9.9/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

jsulm

@Vince2480 Both seems to be 64bit libs, except that libmysqlclient.20.dylib is missing x86_64.
Do you by any chance use a M1 Mac?

Vince2480

@jsulm Yes. M1 MacBook Pro.

SGaist

Hi,

Two solutions I can see here:

Build Qt yourself for the M1
Have a parallel install of brew which installs the x86_64 variants of the packages you need.

jsulm

@Vince2480 To add to @SGaist : QtCompany does not yet provide Apple Silicon Qt builds. That means you have x86_64 Qt build but MySQL client lib is ARM. This can't work, so you have to make sure both are same architecture (either ARM or x86_64), see @SGaist suggestion.

Vince2480

@jsulm I'll build Qt from sources as @SGaist has suggested, from the Qt5 git repository. I assume I don't need to build Qt Creator?

jsulm

@Vince2480 said in MySQL driver detected but not loading on MacOS:

I assume I don't need to build Qt Creator?

No.
Just add a new Kit with your self-built Qt.

@jsulm I'll build Qt from sources as @SGaist has suggested, from the Qt5 git repository. I assume I don't need to build Qt Creator?

Do not forget to checkout the exact version you want. The default branch when cloning is dev so Qt 6.

Vince2480

@SGaist Ran into many problems trying to build the sources, fo

I don't think Qt6 has any MySQL plugins because they weren't in the pre-built version.

SGaist

That's wrong. The same rules apply for the MySQL plugin in Qt 6 than in Qt 5.

Qt has a lot more database plugins that what is provided in the pre-built binaries. Some of them require commercial dependencies that needs to be acquired by the developer/companies that wants to use them so they won't be part of the pre-built binaries either.
