    Default 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
    Referenced from: /Applications/GLEAMviz-5/gleamviz.app/Contents/Frameworks/qml/QtQuick.2/libqtquick2plugin.dylib
    Reason: image not found)
    [reuben@reuben-mba build]$

    CMakeLists.txt:

    # configure Qt
    set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
    set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

    find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Quick QML 3DQuickExtras QuickControls2 REQUIRED)

    foreach(plugin ${Qt5Core_PLUGINS})
    get_target_property(_loc ${plugin} LOCATION)
    message("Plugin ${plugin} is at location ${_loc}")
    endforeach()

    # add the qml.qrc file
    qt5_add_resources(qml_QRC wireframe.qrc)

    file(GLOB_RECURSE CODE_FILES *.cpp)

    add_executable(eema_gui
    ${CODE_FILES}
    ${qml_QRC}
    )

    target_link_libraries(eema_gui Qt5::Core Qt5::Qml Qt5::Quick Qt5::3DQuickExtras Qt5::QuickControls2)

    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.
