Building release version

There are some steps to be done to ensure QML files can be found and loaded. Assuming Qt will be installed in ~/qt and build folder is ~/skadi.

  • Install Qt >= 5.5. Use the installer from the official website, Homebrew version had some problems with macdeployqt.
  • Open skadi.pro in Qt Creator. Choose Release and build.
  • Go to ~/qt/clang_64/ and copy the qml folder into ~/skadi/skadi.app/Contents/Resources/.
  • Open the terminal, cd to the build folder and run ~/qt/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt skadi.app/
  • Now you should be able to launch the app by running ./skadi.app/Contents/MacOS/skadi
