Macdeployqt dmg disabled build versions in Qt

RaZp29 · 12 Jun 2017, 08:18

This worked just fine. But I'm using openstreetmap plugin for a map in my application so the map is not visible.
Quoting macdeployqt: To include a 3rd party library in the application bundle, copy the library into the bundle manually, after the bundle is created.
What is my bundle? Now I have one folder with my sourceCode with files like myApp.pro, main.cpp, qml files, and so on, and another folder that Qt Creator creates when deploying containing main.o, Makefile, moc_files and myApplication.app.

The bundle is your Application.app.

Okey, so how do I: Include a 3rd party library in the application bundle, copy the library into the bundle manually, after the bundle is created. How's this done with OpenStreetMap?

SGaist · 11 Dec 2017, 14:30

Copy the OpenStreetMap framework/dylib in the corresponding folder in the bundle structure.

Where do I find the OpenStreetMap framework/dylib? isn't that included in QtLocation?

SGaist · 13 Dec 2017, 08:46

My bad, I've mixed OpenStreetMap with another one. The osm plugin should be deployed.

RaZp29 · S SGaist 11 Dec 2017, 21:05

@SGaist So how come no map is shown only my frame around it and all other tools when I deploy using macdeployqt with -dmg and -qmldir ?

SGaist · 21 Dec 2017, 09:15

Did you try to start your application from the command line after running macdeployqt ? There might be information printed on the command line.

RaZp29 · S SGaist 13 Dec 2017, 22:16

@SGaist I tried this but it didn't work. This is what the folder to the project in Qt Creator looks like And this is the folder produced by Qt Creator when deploying

Before running macdeployqt running my app from the terminal with: open -a RTKCar works just fine. Then I call macdeployqt from my root folder like this:
pathToMacdeployqt/macdeployqt pathToDeployedFolder/RTKCar.app -dmg -qmldir=PathToProjectFolder
After this I can run it from the terminal but the map won't show, same goes for opening it with the mouse or from the dmg.

When running the macdeployqt command, I get the following output:

I didn't expect it to work but to give more clues about what is going wrong. You don't have any message printing on the console ?

By the way, you should consider updating Qt. 5.9.3 and 5.10 have been released.

RaZp29 · S SGaist 21 Dec 2017, 21:37

@SGaist I Downloaded Qt 5.10 and gave it a try, same output as before. I've also tried this for the Qt Map Viewer Example without any success.

SGaist · 28 Dec 2017, 14:11

Not any QML error ?

RaZp29 · S SGaist 27 Dec 2017, 21:45

@SGaist Nope. Do you want to give it a try with the Qt Map Viewer Example?

SGaist · 30 Dec 2017, 14:40

That's what I was suspecting: missing plugins.

The quick and easy way would be to build your own version of macdeployqt with this patch applied.

RaZp29 · S SGaist 29 Dec 2017, 22:19

@SGaist Wow thanks a lot! Will try this in a few days. Do you reckon linuxdeployqt will have the same issue?

SGaist · 5 Jan 2018, 14:22

If everything goes well, clone the qttools repository and and build macdeployqt from the latest 5.10 branch.

Otherwise, you will have to apply two patches since there was a cleanup done in between.

@SGaist How do I build macdeployqt after cloning it? Tried to open the macdeployqt.pro file in Qt Creator and just build through there, but I got the error code:

ld: can't open output file for writing '/bin/macdeployqt.ld_z0wFts', errno=1 for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [/bin/macdeployqt] Error 1
make: *** [sub-macdeployqt-make_first] Error 2
15:19:17: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.
Error while building/deploying project macdeployqt (kit: Desktop Qt 5.9.2 clang 64bit)
When executing step "Make"

Or can I do it somehow using the terminal?

SGaist · 5 Jan 2018, 20:09

/bin ? That strange.

I do it from the command line in an out of source folder:

mkdir build_macdeployqt
pushd build_macdeployqt
/path/to/qmake /path/to/Qt/qttools/src/macdeployqt/
make
make install

RaZp29 · 1 May 2018, 20:11

@SGaist when I do /path/to/qmake /path/to/Qt/qttools/src/macdeployqt/
I get :
Qt5.10.0/5.10.0/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/sdk.prf:26: Cannot write cache file /Users/.qmake.stash: Permission denied,
Tried it together with sudo, it worked: Info: creating stash file /Users/.qmake.stash
But when doing make I get:
ld: can't open output file for writing '/bin/macdeployqt.ld_jnQbB4', errno=1 for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[1]: *** [/bin/macdeployqt] Error 1 make: *** [sub-macdeployqt-make_first] Error 2

SGaist · 6 Jan 2018, 08:23

Are you using a self-compiled Qt ?
