deploying Mac app using macdeployqt fails

Nitenq

Hello

I would like to build a self contained .app bundle with all Qt frameworks embed inside. I try to use macdeployqt on the .app. (build with QtCreator / Qt 5.8)
I get those warnings :
WARNING: Could not find any external Qt frameworks to deploy in "WaveTag.app"
WARNING: Perhaps macdeployqt was already used on "YourApp.app" ?
WARNING: If so, you will need to rebuild "YourApp.app" before trying again.

.. and no framework is copied into the bundle

The paths showed by otool looks ok :
@rpath/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick (compatibility version 5.8.0, current version 5.8.0)
@rpath/QtQml.framework/Versions/5/QtQml (compatibility version 5.8.0, current version 5.8.0)
@rpath/QtNetwork.framework/Versions/5/QtNetwork (compatibility version 5.8.0, current version 5.8.0)
.. etc

Any Idea ?

Hi,

How are you calling macdeployqt ?

Nitenq

terminal command :
~/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin]$ macdeployqt ~/(pathToReleaseBuild)/MyApp.app

ok my bad, I had another macdeployqt installed somewhere on my machine.
Thanks!

for completeness : macdeployqt needs also to copy all qml plugins. So the complete command is :

./macdeployqt <path_to_app_bundle> -qmldir=<full_path_to_qml_files_folder>

(called from the Qt install directory)

On a side note for people coming here: <full_path_to_qml_files_folder> means path to the project qml files folder.
