Hi Guys,
I have installed the Qwt on Mac Os, if I build any qwt project build success but could not able to run on the machine why?
any solution to this?

@thippu

You better give a couple of more details of what you actually try to do.

Do you use Qt creator?
Which Qt version are you using?
What is the actual Mac OS version?

Hi,

What does otool -L qwt.framework/qwt return ?

[thippu]

@koahnig Hi,
thanks for the reply:
Below is the information:

1)Qt 5.11.2 (x86_64-little_endian-lp64 shared (dynamic) release build; by Clang 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42) (Apple)) on "cocoa" 
2)OS: macOS High Sierra (10.13) [darwin version 17.7.0]
3)Qt creator: Qt Creator 4.7.1.

Error I'm getting is:19:47:55: Starting /Users/Desktop/build-check5-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_clang_64bit2-Debug/check5.app/Contents/MacOS/check5...

@SGaist I did run

otool -L qwt.framework/qwt

on terminal
It says like this:

otool -L qwt.framework/qwt
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/objdump: 'qwt.framework/qwt': No such file or directory

[SGaist]

Might be a silly question but did you execute that command in the folder where qwt.framework is located ?

[thippu]

@SGaist Thanks for asking this question, I did not know that I should execute that command in the folder but I know qwt installation path and how to locate the qwt.framework path?

[thippu]

@SGaist
Did execute on this path /user/lib/
qwt.framework is there here.
output of the command is below:

qwt.framework was in otool -L qwt.framework/qwt

@thippu Still has the issue, what to do?

[SGaist]

otool won't automatically correct anything. In this case it was to look at the dependencies and the id of the framework.

Use install_name_tool and change the id to contain the full path.

[thippu]

@SGaist
Like this? :

install_name_tool /user/lib/qwt

[SGaist]

Did you read the help of that command ?

[thippu]

@SGaist Yes, I did try like this :

install_name_tool -help

output of the command:

Usage: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool [-change old new] ... [-rpath old new] ... [-add_rpath new] ... [-delete_rpath old] ... [-id name] input

I did like this also

install_name_tool -id /Users/axx/lib/qwt.framework/qwt.framework/Versions/6/qwt

the output of the command has no change why?

Usage: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool [-change old new] ... [-rpath old new] ... [-add_rpath new] ... [-delete_rpath old] ... [-id name] input```

@thippu said in Library not loaded: qwt.framework/Versions/6/qwt:

[-id name] input

Where is the "input"?

[thippu]

@jsulm install_name_tool -id /Users/lib/qwt.framework/qwt.framework/Versions/6/qwt
after the

-id 

The path is input right?

[jsulm]

@thippu I don't know, I'm not an MacOS expert. @SGaist probably knows.

[thippu]

@jsulm Thanks for the reply.

[thippu]

@thippu you are right I was missing the input keyword,
now if I do this

install_name_tool -id input /Users/lib/qwt.framework

output is : can't map file qwt.framework(invalid argument)

[SGaist]

install_name_tool -id /Users/axx/lib/qwt.framework/qwt.framework/Versions/6/qwt /Users/axx/lib/qwt.framework/qwt.framework/qwt

[edit: Fixed path SGaist]
