[Qt-interest] Linking Framework app on Mac with install_name_tool

[Stan Warford]

Hello all,

I am trying to deploy a desktop app using Frameworks as described in the Qt documentation. I am using Qt Creator 2.2.0 based on Qt 4.7.4 (64 bit). I use otool to check for dependencies, copy the frameworks into the app bundle, use install_name_tool to change the references, then do a final check with otool. Although everything appears correct, the app crashes, and I am at a loss as to how to debug the problem. My terminal session is included below.

I tried doing this with macdeployqt, but it is known to be broken with this (latest) release of Qt SDK.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Stan
