Designer doesn't load wwWidgets plugin

[wysota]

Ok, I've done some reading. First of all please run otool on the wwidgets plugin (libwwwidgetsplugin.dylib) and post the result here. Then run otool on the widget library (libwwwidgets4.dylib) and post the result as well. Finally post the absolute path to:
1. Qt libraries
2. libwwwidgets4.dylib
3. libwwwidgetsplugin.dylib

You'll need all that information to use a tool called install_name_tool. You can enter its name in Qt Assistant to learn about what it does.

I solved it... the solution by Reimer was very close.

But you cannot add a reference to a framework like a library. Mac OS X frameworks are little bit different that .dylib libraries, so libtool fails if you handle the framework like a dylib.

In plugin.pro, the correct declaration is:

LIBS += -framework wwwidgets4

LIBS += -framework wwwidgets4

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Note that this requires that the framework already exists in /Library/Frameworks!

So, compile the main plugin, run 'make install' and produce the designer plugin after...
