Mac-specific issues for qmake and framework dependencies

[axeljaeger]

I guess you will have to run install_name_tool in any case: Your application searches for the framework at some location: Either in /Library/Frameworks or inside the bundle. But even for searching inside the bundle, the path has to be adopted to something like @bundle_path.

Thanks for the reply, I have now a bash script that will run otool and then install_name_tool and does the job fine, it is even applied through a command inside my qmake file.

The only issue now is that after running qmake and make, I have to run make macinstall (the name of the target) as I have not been able to automate the process any further than that.

I guess I sort of figured this must be a common problem and that I had overlooked something.

Just an idea to automate further:
If you are using the subdirs-template in your topmost directory, you can include a directory that just contains a makefile. QMake will execute that makefile. This makefile could be used to trigger your macinstall-task.
