[SOLVED] Deploying a dylib file on mac
-
Hello. I have created a mac plugin, which is basically a dylib file. The plugin includes a couple of boost libraries, and no qt libs. Now I am trying to deploy it and, understandably, receive a dependancy error:
@
Get the following error in the Log.txt:
dlerror:dlopen(/Users/igorland/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/MyPlugin/mac.xpl, 6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libboost_system.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/igorland/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/MyPlugin/mac.xpl
Reason: image not found@So, I try to link the boost_system library.
First like this:
@
LIBS +=
-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib
-lboost_system@Then like this:
@LIBS +=
-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/libboost_system.a@Then, I select the project file and add an external library through the menu, which adds the following:
@win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/release/ -lboost_system
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/debug/ -lboost_system
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/ -lboost_systemINCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/libwin32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/release/libboost_system.a
else:win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/debug/libboost_system.a
else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/release/boost_system.lib
else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/debug/boost_system.lib
else:unix: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/libboost_system.a@In all cases, I still have the same issue with the file.
When I did my first Qt application on Mac, I had to use the Qt Mac Deployment Tool to link the libraries. However, my understanding is that since it is not an app bundle but a dll, sorry dylib, I cannot do it. What is the proper way to link statically libraries in a dylib (this and a couple of others like libc++.)
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
You have to link to the corresponding a files, or depending on your needs you could also to the framework way (it doesn't look like an option but I may be wrong)

Thank you, SGaist!

Sorry, SGaist, but isn't it what I am doing by:
@LIBS +=
-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/libboost_system.a@Although, in this case, the error is a bit different:
@dlerror:dlopen(/Users/igorland/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/iGoDispatchConnect/mac.xpl, 6): Symbol not found: __ZN5boost6system15system_categoryEv
Referenced from: /Users/igorland/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/iGoDispatchConnect/mac.xpl
Expected in: flat namespace
in /Users/igorland/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/iGoDispatchConnect/mac.xpl@Thank you so much for always being supportive!

Indeed, it's what you are doing.
Can you show what otool -L returns when run on you dylib file ?
-
SGaist, thanks for your support.
Re-read multiple threads and tutorials again. Argh! Little things...
@LIBS += /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/libboost_system.a@
NOT
@LIBS +=
-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.55.0_2/lib/libboost_system.a@It is working great now. Many thanks!
