libvlc for mac os QT Creator - general newbie problem

Postby geostein8888 » 19 Mar 2011 20:27

Hello,
because i have now a mac since 2 weeks or so i'm still not so familar with all this stuff.
under windows.

i want to build a QT application with this library under mac os, but i still get the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @loader_path/lib/libvlc.5.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/aa/QT.prj/vlctest/vlctest.app/Contents/MacOS/vlctest
Reason: image not found
Das Programm ist abgestürzt.

in the QT Creator project i have added the following:

Code: Select all

INCLUDEPATH += /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/include LIBS += /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libvlc.5.dylib LIBS += /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libvlccore.dylib
but i think i use the wrong library.

when i build my application under windows i use the libvlc.a static library - but i dont have one for the mac (i think here i have to use somwthing like libvlc.lib)
i treid to compile the git version but without any success, so i couldnt get theses libs from here

i hipe somebody can give me a tip what lib i have to add to my project to get oit to run (it is the QT vlc code fomr this page waht works under windows and linux)

with regards

georg

.dylib correspons to .dll of windows.
You can link to shared library with -L and -l option, for instance,
LIBS += -L/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib -lvlc
For more detail usage, read the document for qmake.

Hello,
finally i got this working, i made a copy of the lib and plugins folder into the build folder of the project.
now i have the problem, that i can't connecct the video to my QT Widget.
i dont use the VLCKit right now, i only use the standard libvlc

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_player_set_agl (_mp, _videoWidget->winId());
videowidget is embedded into my applications mainwindow
