    from terminal I have ran pkg-config --listall which has glib-2.0 , so seems like qt is not seeing pkg-config?

      Output of pkg-config --list-all | grep glib:

      gio-unix-2.0 GIO unix specific APIs - unix specific headers for glib I/O library
      taglib_c TagLib C Bindings - Audio meta-data library (C bindings)

        So it's likely a path problem. What you can do is close Qt Creator, and call

        @open your_project.pro@

        from the command line, that should start Qt Creator with the additional paths setup you might have for your command line. If it doesn't work, remove the your_project.pro.user file after having closed Qt Creator, and call open again

          Still the same issue. It cannot even parse the .pro file now. Below is my .pro file:

          @QT += core gui

          greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

          TARGET = tesrre
          TEMPLATE = app

          SOURCES += main.cpp
          mainwindow.cpp

          HEADERS += mainwindow.h

          FORMS += mainwindow.ui

          CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
          PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0

          INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/gpod-1.0/gpod
          INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.38.2/include/glib-2.0

          LIBS += /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.38.2/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib
          LIBS +=/usr/local/lib/libgpod.4.dylib@

          Tired adding PKG_CONFIG_PATH+=/usr/local/Cellar/pkg-config/0.28/bin
          into qmake additional arguments, and also added a new variable under system environment but did not change anything.

            What do you mean by "It cannot even parse the pro file" ?
            glib-2.0 should be handled by pkg-config so no need for any other setup.

            @LIBS += -L /usr/local/lib -lgpod@

            Is more likely for gpod

              I mean that I cannot click the green build and run icon, as it says it cannot parse .pro file.

              gpod was fine before the way i had added it and if i comment out :

              @CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
              PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0@

              then it parses fine. But I have commented out the gpod bit for now just to make sure, and still the same.

              All I have added to the .pro file now is:

              @CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
              PKGCONFIG += glib-2.0@

              If I open in qt creator 3. then it still has the parse issue , but says:

              Project ERROR: Package glib-2.0 not found

                Do you have several Qt Creator installed ?

                  Yeah I suppose. I have Qt5.1.1
                  Qt5.2.0 folders both in my user folder. Not sure why I have two, Should I try and remove one?

                  Qt5.1.1 has Qt creator 2.8

                  Qt5.2.0 has Qt creator 3.0.0

                    Then you have your Qt 5.1.1 Qt Creator starting and this one can't handle 5.2.

                    Try calling open with -b /Path/to/Your/5.2/Qt Creator.app

                      I tried

                      open tesrre.pro -b /Users/tom/Qt5.2.0/QtCreator.app

                      And get:

                          I have uninstalled all versions of Qt , and reinstalled from the latest 5.2.1

                          Created a new application and tried again. Now it is asking me for glib2-development package.

                          Cannot find this on homebrew and no where to compile from source. So have just installed Macports and now installed glib2-devel. seems like it just installed the same files that were already present with the homebrew port, with some documentation.

                          Still not working and error saying:

                          Project ERROR: glib-2.0 development package not found

                            You might need to add /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH

                              I think the PKG_CONFIG_PATH is fine as it is now seeing glib-2.0 , but is now asking for development package.

                              After installing with macports doing pkg config --list-all shows the same as before , so think the development package has not installed.
                              Not really sure what I am supposed to see after installing it.
                              Do you know a better way of installing?

                                Do you have something like

                                @export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH@

                                in your .profile file ?

                                  Yeah just added something similar to my .profile . It contains the following:

                                  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
                                  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

                                  Still the same. Tried launching from terminal again.

                                  Funny, I have tried on a ubuntu install and it just works. Was amazed at how easy it was.

                                    Did you source the file before testing ? Otherwise the changes won't take effect

                                      No , I did not know about that. Just tried but the same.

                                      Just found the follwing page, which has helped a bit:

                                      "sing-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16972066/using-pkg-config-with-qt-creator-qmake-on-mac-osx

                                      Basically I have added the following to my .pro file:

                                      @QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config@

                                      So now I have :

                                      @QT_CONFIG -= no-pkg-config
                                      CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
                                      PKGCONFIG += libgpod-1.0 taglib@

                                      This however will only work if I launch the project from within terminal.
                                      There are suggestions of fixes for Qt Creator , but none of them seem to work.

                                        I personally always start Qt Creator from the command line to ensure that it will have the environment set by .profile
