      Hi All,

      I am very new to Qt/QML. I have installed Qt 5.3.1 on my mac and wanted to package my application. Following the instructions given "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html#the-mac-deployment-tool, I successfully created a disk image file (.dmg) with my application. I can open/install and run it on my machine and everything works fine. When we try to run the same file on a different machine and we are getting the following error.

      I have used "macdeployqt" and "otool -L" commands but it still does not solve my problem.

      Can someone help me sort out this problem?

      Thank you,

      Clovea.

        Hi, when you run "macdeployqt" did you specify the -qmldir switch? "Example here":http://stackoverflow.com/a/20903329/233402

        Also, could you post a "otool -L" on your freefalltower.app/Contents/MacOS/freefalltower app?

          Hi,

          I have tried to add the qmldir flag in my "macdeployqt" command, it still does not work. Here is the output of my otool -L

            Hmm the otool -L looks good, could you also open your .dmg file and do a "otool -L" on your app inside it, i.e. do a "cd /Volumes/VOLUME/..." etc.?

                Hi,

                Are you using any custom library ?

                  Yes, also you could try with making an empty Widgets app, do macdeployqt and make a .dmg of the Widgets app, and see if that .dmg unpacks and runs ok on your other machine.

                    The following works for me for a simple Qt app-

                    go to build dir of your APPNAME, which is called build-APPNAME-Desktop_Qt_5_3_clang_64bit-Debug

                    ~/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt APPNAME.app -dmg -qmldir=/Users/USERNAME/Qt/5.3/clang_64/qml -verbose=3

                    this generated a APPNAME.dmg file which I was able to use on another MacBook.
