Using Cmake to compile QtQuick and QM: How to load qt plugins

Hello,

I am trying to compile the wireframe example using Cmake. I am able to to get a good build using the CMakeLists.txt below. However, when I run the executable I get the an error associate with the loading of plugins. It appears that the executable is looking for the plugins in an other application (gleamviz)?? Is there a way to point Qt in the right direction for the plugins in the CMakeLists.txt?

Error message:

[reuben@reuben-mba build]$ ./gui/eema_gui
qrc:/main.qml:51:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "QtQuick": Cannot load library /Applications/GLEAMviz-5/gleamviz.app/Contents/Frameworks/qml/QtQuick.2/libqtquick2plugin.dylib: (dlopen(/Applications/GLEAMviz-5/gleamviz.app/Contents/Frameworks/qml/QtQuick.2/libqtquick2plugin.dylib, 133): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick

CMakeLists.txt:

# configure Qt

foreach(plugin ${Qt5Core_PLUGINS})
get_target_property(_loc ${plugin} LOCATION)

endforeach()

Running the executable you build with CMake has nothing to do with CMake or the CMakeLists.txt file. It's your runtime environment that's to blame. All of the plugins and/or dynamic (shared) libraries used by your program have to be "findable" when the program runs. This means they either have to be in a location the executable looks by default (eg. the executable's directory) or in a directory that can be found in the system PATH.

The error message tells you what the runtime is looking for and that's where the problem lies, but I am not familiar enough with Mac OS to tell you exactly how to fix this.
