How to include a macOS .framework file in Qt creator "qmake"

hskoglund

Hi, for pylon it should be as @SGaist says:

INCLUDEPATH += "/Library/Frameworks/pylon.framework"
LIBS += -F"/Library/Frameworks/" -framework pylon

@hskoglund
it still doesn't seem to work :(

@UbiMiles
the headers are usually included as <pylon/header.h>
in case that requires any changes, there isn't a pylon directory however and the headers are inside pylon.framework in a folder called Headers

Ok, try adding these as well:

INCLUDEPATH += "/Library/Frameworks/pylon.framework/Headers/"
INCLUDEPATH += "/Library/Frameworks/"

@hskoglund
sadly it is still the same
would a sample of the build settings for a project with the framework in Xcode be of any help?
I am quite since I am not too experienced with Building Qt apps for MacOS

I suppose you already checked some old posts like this one: https://imaginghub.com/forum/posts/702-using-basler-pylon-sdk-on-mac-with-qt ?
(he manages to build it successfully with some warnings)

@hskoglund
I didn't come across this page but trying their pro file settings it's still throwing errors not recognizing any members in the headers

@UbiMiles
I also found this and the op of the thread seems to have gotten it working

@UbiMiles
it seems to me he recomposed the Headers folder into /temp directory in the order they originally are
I should try that out

I think my issue is not with linking the library itself and I apologize for that.
the question that would solve my problem is, what is the equivalent of xocde's "Runpath Search Path" for qmake?
