    @Lestev You should really start to CAREFULLY read what others write and also try to understand what you are doing!
    You are still using .<so|dylib> in your command and it should be actually apparent that you should replace it by what your platform requires (.dylib on Mac).

    You also should remove "-G Ninja" if you do not have Ninja.

    Also you were asked to post TEXT not pictures, but you keep posting pictures. Is there a reason for that?

      @jsulm wow! Thank you very much, I did this and succeeded, but the error remained, I added install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql-8.0.25-macos11-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /usr/local/mysql-8.0 . 25-macos11-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib/Users/migellestv/Qt/6.2.3/macos/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib

      and I succeeded, but error remained:

      QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
      QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
      QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
      QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC QPSQL

      Why if i added install_name_tool?

        cmake --build .
        cmake --install .

            @Lestev OK, then we need to debug now.
            Do this on console:

            • Go to the build folder of your application
            • Do: export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
            • Run your app from the terminal
            • Copy paste the output from terminal to here

            You can also set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS in Run settings of your project in QtCreator.

                  @Lestev I did not ask you to build your app in the terminal, that you can still do in QtCreator.
                  What I asked you to do is to run the executable of your application.

                    @jsulm hey, the terminal doesn't output anything, it only launches the application

                    migellestev@Migels-MacBook-Pro build-forBeginner-Clone_of_Qt_6_2_2_for_macOS-Debug % export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
                    migellestev@Migels-MacBook-Pro build-forBeginner-Clone_of_Qt_6_2_2_for_macOS-Debug % open forBeginner.app
                    migellestev@Migels-MacBook-Pro build-forBeginner-Clone_of_Qt_6_2_2_for_macOS-Debug %

                    Everything works, but inside qt error is keeping

                      Don't call open, use the full path to the executable in the bundle.

                        @SGaist hi, I think my directory is not properly defined because it should be /Users/migellestev/Qt/6.2.3/macos/plugins/sqldrivers
                        but directory is:
                        /Users/migellestev/Qt/QtDesignStudio/qt6_design_studio_reduced_version/plugins/sqldrivers

                        if it helps:

                          Looks like you're mixing up Qt versions which is not possible. Make sure QtDesignStudio is not picked up, only your Qt6.2.2 where you also (hopefully) build your Qt mysql plugin for. Currently it looks like you created (or had by default - don't know) the plugin inside QtDesignStudio.

                              Don't know MacOS but on linux this means you have the other somewhere in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf. Remove it /make sure the correct path comes first.

                                    Then make sure that cmake is installed and in your PATH...

                                      I don't understand. If you want to build Qt or one of it's plugins you have to install cmake and make sure it's found in your PATH.
