Okay, so, this will hopefully be a quick question.. and before you nag me about how others have asked this question before, I assure you that I've looked deeply into those articles and read the Qt documentation, but the explanations still befuddle me. To be honest, I just got this Mac and don't have much development experience using it. Anyway, here it goes...
When I try using the MySQL C Connector in my Qt GUI app, my app and all of its dependent libraries are built without issue. However, when I try to RUN my app, I get the following error:
dyld: Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/rxpictures/Documents/Qt Projects/SQLProject/SQLProject.app/Contents/MacOS/SQLProject
Reason: image not found
The program has unexpectedly finished.
I have the file libmysqlclient.18.dylib in my MySQL folder, and even tried importing it as an external library. However, I'm still getting this message and it's driving me NUTS! I originally wrote the program on Windows and it worked fine then.
Any ideas how I can fix this? What is even causing this? I read something about using an ln command in a terminal to create a link to the file in Mac's lib folder or the Qt lib folder or something like that... but I don't have much experience with the Mac command line and am not sure if I know where the lib folder on Mac (or Qt) is. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Also, I should mention I am using MAMP (www.mamp.info) for my MySQL capabilities.
