All binaries in 4.6.1 crash on OSX 10.5

**Markus** · 10th February 2010, 19:33

Dear all,

I am using qt-everywhere-commercial-src-4.6.1 and compile works fine. Also my own projects all compile and run fine but non of the Qt apps in /bin or /examples run. Below is the crash dump on qtdemos.

Any idea whats wrong?

Use Console.app to get the message that was send by the qapplcation. Your backtrace shows that the application crashes in the Qt message handler. This is intended behavior if someone puts out a message using qFatal. Not the actual text message would be interesting. It is given on the command line: Either start your application binary from the command line, e.g. the executable inside the bundle structure or use console.app to get the command line output of all applications that are launched via the finder GUI.

I have the console printout:

Qt internal error: qt_menu.nib could not be loaded. The .nib file should be placed in QtGui.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/ or in the resources directory of your application bundle.
Abort

**axeljaeger** · 12th February 2010, 20:42

Can you find that file in either location?

**Markus** · 13th February 2010, 00:48

I cannot find any .nib files in Qt at all.
Even in qt-sdk-mac-commercial-2010.01.dmg apps -- which do not crash -- are no nib files.

**axeljaeger** · 14th February 2010, 16:58

Then this SDK is probably linking against carbon.

I got answer from the support and my problem is the following:

I am using the -static and x86_64 flags for the configure of the Qt build. This combination does not work because of Cocoa.

All my fault...
