I struggle with this for weeks now and hope someone finds this useful or knows an answer. - I use QT 5.7 and QT 5.8 and the error occurs on both versions.
I have a QT Quick 2.0 application which I build as a dynamically linked .bundle application on a Mac using macdeployqt.
I call macdeployqt with the following parameters: %{buildDir}/imageDatabase.app -qmldir=%{buildDir}/../UserInterface/ -always-overwrite -verbose=2
The working directory is $QTDIR/bin because macdeploy needs to be run from inside the QT-Installation directory as I learned here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/59030/solved-macdeployqt-problem/6
The following error occurs when I try to run the application:
- Double-click: The app opens and the icon appears in the bar on the bottom but besides that nothing happens
- Starting the app from Terminal:
Output
Machine:MacOS MyName$ ./tool
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component qrc:/main.qml:1 plugin cannot be
loaded for module "QtQuick": '/Users/thorstenbux/DAQRI/gitHub/artoolkit6/Source/Utilities/ImageDBSerialiser/build-ui/imageDatabase.app/Contents/PlugIns/quick/libqtquick2plugin.dylib'
is not a valid Mach-O binary (not a dynamic library)
- Calling
fileon the library in question reveals the following
Machine:MacOS MyName$ file /Users/myname/client/gitHub/tool/SDK/Applications/tool.app/Contents/PlugIns/quick/libqtquickcontrolsplugin.dylib
/Users/myname/client/gitHub/tool/SDK/Applications/tool.app/Contents/PlugIns/quick/libqtquickcontrolsplugin.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dSYM companion file x86_64
looks like it is loading the debug libraries.
macdeployqt error message is the following:
ERROR: Could not parse otool output: "/Users/myname/DAQRI/gitHub/tool/Source/Utilities/tool/build-tool-Desktop_Qt_5_8_0_clang_64bit-Release/tool.app/Contents/PlugIns/quick/libqtquick2plugin.dylib:\n"
Any ideas?
