[Qt-interest] double-click on my application bundle doesn't work

[Daniel Price]

What was the error in the console?

Definitely sounds like a dylib path-mapping problem. I remember how much pain this was get working. Are you using just the core lib or WebKit et al?

My recommendation is that you just use the mac deploy project.
