Question

If I deploy the demo-app sphere.app on OS-X with

macdeployqt sphere.app

and try to start it with

sphere.app/Contents/MacOS/sphere

I get the error message

file:///Users/dev/src/qt3d-1.0-src/bin/sphere.app/Contents/Resources/qml/sphere.qml:42:1: module „Qt3D“ is not installed
import Qt3D 1.0

otool –L sphere.app/Contents/MacOS/sphere shows, that the frameworks are correctly deployed:

sphere.app/Contents/MacOS/sphere:

Does onybody know how to fix this? Is this a Qt bug or did I do something wrong?

Answer 1

It seems that the application is not able to find any of the Qt frameworks and only reports the first one which happens to be Qt3D.
Can you confirm that the Qt3D Frameworks exist

@executable_path/../Frameworks/Qt3D.framework/Versions/1/Qt3D

Here @executable_path is path to your binary which would most probably be sphere.app/Contents/MacOS/sphere. So Qt3D should exist at

sphere.app/Contents/Frameworks/Qt3D.framework/Versions/1/Qt3D

If not you can copy from Library Framework path to create above Path
