Can't get qvfb to work on Mac OS X

[nyholku]

Hi axeljaeger,

thanks for answering.

I take you point that it should be easier to get this going with/on Linux.

However, according to this thread it seems that someone, more knowledgeable
than me, did this almost casually on Mac:

But I'm not bent on doing this on Mac, I can do this on Linux. So I re-did what
I described I my post this time on Linux, and the result is just the same. The application
runs native to Linux/Q11, not in/with qvfb-frame buffer.

So I must be doing something elementary wrong, but can't spot it.

I've tried to follow these instructions to the letter:

Very frustrating when compiling takes hours an a 2.8 GHz/4GB/1067Mhz/9200rpm machine...

I wish someone would look through my process and point out
what I'm doing wrong...

In both cases, you should have two versions of Qt installed: The native one and Qt embedded. The application that shall run inside the qvfb has to be linked against Qt embedded, not the native version. From your description, it looks like your application is linked agains the native Qt. When installing two versions of Qt, be sure to invoke the right qmake that was built together with that particular version of Qt, e.g. run qmake from Qt embedded before compiling your application. This will make sure the generated Makefile links agains that version of Qt.
