macdeployqt


  • Hallo

    My Question is, wher i must setup my profile for mac .

    My App compiles fine, but macdeplyqt can't find my created libs.

    After make i have my lib (libMyAppCore.1.0.0.dylib*) in my MyAppCore folder and my App
    in MyApp.

    in the created MyApp.app i can only find my executable and macdeployqt says
    can not find /usr/lib/libMyAppCore.1.dylib

    When i manualy copy the dylib in the MyApp.app it works, but how can do this Job macdeployqt?

    thx Chris

    I haven't used the tool, but I think this goes beyond its scope. The idea of the *deployqt tools is to pull in the needed Qt/system dependencies, not your own libraries.

    EDIT:
    Or just listen to @SGaist, who works on mac and don't laugh too hard at my comment ... :)

    Hi,

    Did you properly setup the RPATH of your library ? If not then macdeployqt won't be able to find it.

  • No. I didn't set the Rpath. How can I do this for Mac?
    Must I also set through Rpath for other libs like qrencode.dylib? This macdeployqt will find and copy.
    Thx

    Qt Creator's rpath.pri shows a nice way to handle that.

  • @SGaist sorry do not work

    What must i do after compile?

    My App compile and will found my corelib. But must i copy the lib manualy to the package?
    macdeployqt allway say ERROR no file at "/usr/lib/mycorelib.dylib" i can't copy it to /usr/lib

    When i copy mylib manualy to Contents/MacOS it works. No matter if rpath is set or not.

    Which version of Qt are you using ?

  • I'm using Qt 5.6

    i must run
    install_name_tool -change libMyCore.1.dylib @exectable_path/libMyCore.1.dylib myApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myApp

    Than the lib was found, but macdeployqt always had the same ERROR. The app is working but why the lib was searching in /usr/lib when i to the install_name_tool.
    Add QMAKE_LIBS += -Wl,-rpath,@executable_path/libMyCore.1.dylib or anythink else was ignored.

    I must to this manualy with install_name_tool -change.

    macdeployqt has improved with the latest versions of Qt so you'll likely have better result running a more recent version of the tool.

  • I doit now with install_name_tool -change. No other option will work for me. Thx
