    Question Bundle SDL Framework in Bundle

    Hey guys,

    So I just have a quick question. I'm trying to link to the SDL framework on OSX 10.6, but I keep running into issues when I try to run the application.

    Qt Code: 
    1. dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL
    2.   Referenced from: /Users/chris/Programming/Monterey/Monterey-build-desktop-Desktop_Qt_4_8_0_for_GCC__Qt_SDK__Release/Monterey.app/Contents/MacOS/Monterey
    3.   Reason: image not found
    4. The program has unexpectedly finished.

    When I right click on Monterey.app and click "show package contents," I am able to navigate to the Frameworks subfolder and I can see that SDL is copied there. Here is my *.pro file.
    Qt Code:

    I'd like to provide the SDL framework in the bundle if at all possible. How can I link to that framework (SDL) if it's in the bundle?

    Thanks!

    Default Re: Bundle SDL Framework in Bundle

    I have an XCode project which copies SDL.framework to my app bundle and, up until recently, this worked fine. I could give my bundle to someone who didn't have SDL.framework and it would work. But yesterday a friend of mine said my app was crashing because it couldn't find SDL.framework. I removed SDL.framework from my /Library/Frameworks folder to test it on my machine and he's right. Even though SDL.framework exists in my bundle the app still crashes because it can't find it.

    Chris,

    Use macdeployqt to copy frameworks into the bundle and automatically adjust their paths. See also Deploying and Application on Mac OSX

    Here is a snippit from one of my project files which automatically does this as needed, for release builds:

    Qt Code: 
    1. macx {
    2.  
    3.  CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
    4.  
    5.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += @echo "GRPRO: Deploying Mac app" $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    6.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]/macdeployqt $$OUT_PWD/MyApp.app $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    7.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += @echo "GRPRO: Copying qextserialport" $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    8.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += cp -R $$(HOME)/lib/libqextserialport* $$OUT_PWD/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/ $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    9.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += @echo "GRPRO: Correcting paths inside of libqextserialport" $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    10.     QMAKE_POST_LINK += install_name_tool -change $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS]/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore $$OUT_PWD/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/libqextserialport.1.2.0.dylib $$escape_expand(\\n\\t)
    11.  }
    12. }

    I have this exact same problem. It looks like my application is looking for the SDL framework somewhere else. Can you force the application to look for the framework in the bundle first? My problem isn't getting the framework in the bundle, that's easy (although thanks to droneone's help, I can automate that task!), it is forcing my application to look in the bundle instead of looking elsewhere.

    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Thanks,

    Chris
