[Qt-creator] osx deployment - deployqtHelper_mac.sh

[Petr Vaněk]

hi all,

let's assume I want to build my own qt creator for mac (os x). After
building I have environment dependent "mac bundle" in <BUILD>/bin directory.
Normally I'd use macdeployqt to make the bundle distributable. And it
works expect one thing - the "welcome" page-qml (?) is not loaded correctly.
Then I found deployqtHelper_mac.sh in <SOURCE>/scripts directory.
Regarding the script content it should provide macdeployqt on steroids.
But its usage is quite cryptic for me.

Usage: deployqtHelper_mac.sh <app folder> <qt translations folder> <qt
plugin folder> <qt quick imports folder> <qt quick 2 imports folder>

I use standard qt-project distro package located in:
/Users/pvanek/Qt/5.4/clang_64
but I'm really wondering what directory should be used for these
arguments: <qt translations folder> <qt plugin folder> <qt quick imports
folder> <qt quick 2 imports folder>

can anybody provide some experience with it, please?

thanks,
Petr
