macdeployqt ERROR: no file at "/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/lib/libpq.5.dylib"

[JSher]

As the title suggests I am trying to deploy an app on mac.

When I build the release it runs fine from that folder but there are no sql libs.

I moved the app to a separate folder and ran macdeployqt MyApp.app

I received this error:
ERROR: no file at "/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/lib/libpq.5.dylib"
and macdeployqt stops without moving anything to the new folder.

I did some research but most posts I find are not related to this or the build continues...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Do you have that file there ?

[JSher]

No, It appears to be a postgres DB file however Ive never used potsgres DB. In the posts Ive read it should just continue and not stop?

That being said, why would it be looking for postres installed on the machine?

Thanks,

Because currently, if you are using the QtSql module, all the related plugins are deployed hence the issue you are seeing but it should not stop the release procedure IIRC.

Right that what I had read however my macdeployqt stops and does not write any files to the folder with the Myapp.app

any ideas?

Sorry for my ignorance. It does build the app, its just inside it...

I am not sure to understand that last sentence correctly.
