Mysterious crash on Mac
-
Hi,
I have an app written in Qt 4.8.4 that is crashing mysteriously on the Mac, apparently when the Mac wakes up. I can't reproduce the problem myself, but several users have reported the same problem, although it seems to happen infrequently.
The relevant bit of the crash log appears below.
It appears to be due to a 'QNSListener' not having a 'notificationHandler' selector, but I can find no docs anywhere on QNSListener.
Anyone else heard of this problem? Is there any solution?

Hi,
QNSListener is an internal class used only the CoreWlan related code. On what version of OS X are they experiencing this ?

Do you package the plugin bearer/libqcorewlanbearer.dylib ?
This is where -[QNSListener notificationHandler:] is defined.

Seems to be a Yosemite problem.

No I don't, I just use macdeployqt which doesn't appear to copy it in.
I can't actually find the file libqcorewlanbearer.dylib anywhere on my Mac either, but spotlight appears to be doing something weird so it may actually be there somewhere.
My Qt install is also a bit of a mess - I've had to do all sorts of weird crap over time so Qt can find compilers etc. I guess there's no easy way to uninstall/reinstall everything Qt related.
-
Ok, I eventually found libqcorewlanbearer.dylib in /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins/bearer/. There's also libqgenericbearer.dylib there.
Does this sound like the correct location for a 4.8.4 lib?
Should I just copy it into to app package Frameworks dir along with other dylibs?
-
Ok, the bearers/ stuff WAS being deployed - I just hadn't checked the PlugIns dir.
However, my app is not doing this:
qApp->setLibraryPath(qApp->applicationDirPath() + "/../PlugIns");
With a bit of luck, that could be the problem!
-
Well, after trying this trick...
$ export DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1
$ ./Ted.app/Contents/MacOS/Ted...it looks like libqcorewlanbearer.dylib and all other plugins are being correctly loaded from the app's PlugIns dir after all.
Any other ideas?
