[Solved] Deployment problem of Qt Quick application on Mac OS X 10.10.1, Qt 5.3.2

sfilippidis

I cannot deploy a Qt Quick application on Mac OS X 10.10.1, Qt 5.3.2.

I run

@macdeployqt applicationName.app@

but when I run the final app, I get (using terminal) the following error:

@QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:2 module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:1 module "QtQuick" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:2 module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:1 module "QtQuick" is not installed@

Hi Stavros Filippidis,

For Qt Quick you must use this format of command:
@
macdeployqt <application_bundle> -qmldir=<path_to_root_folder_of application_qml_files> -execute=<application_bundle>/Contents/MacOS/<app_name>
@

where:

qmldir - this argument need to macdeployqt for analyse your mL files and find all plugins which you used in your app. All plugins will be copy to your app bundle.
execute - I use scrip so I'm not sure about this argument.

For mo information you could fine in "this topic":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/48391/.

Thanks! Actually, only the -qml parameter was enough!

@macdeployqt <application_bundle> -qmldir=<path_to_root_folder_of_application_qml_files>@

It gives a number of warnings such as

@File exists, skip copy: "/Users/<username>/build-<app_name>-Desktop_Qt_5_3_0_clang_64bit-Release/<app_name>.app/Contents/Resources/qml/QtQuick/Layouts/qmldir"@

but, other than that, it works!

I had previously tried the -qml parameter, but it was using a relative path such as

@~/<qml_folder>@

and it didn't work! This time I used an absolute path such as

@/Users/<username>/<qml_folder>@

and it worked just fine!
