Mac Installer does not start due to missing qt plugins

Description

The Mac Installer does not work currently, as it is missing the cocoa libs.

We should automatically provide the
Contents/MacOS/platforms/libqccoa.dylib

The following Qt libs are referenced in the libqcocoa.dylib:
@rpath/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui
@rpath/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore
@rpath/QtDBus.framework/Versions/5/QtDBus
@rpath/QtPrintSupport.framework/Versions/5/QtPrintSupport
@rpath/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets

As far as I can tell QtDBus has so far not been part of the installer.

I did try setting the paths manually using
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore libqcocoa.dylib
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui libqcocoa.dylib
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtDBus.framework/Versions/5/QtDBus @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtDBus.framework/Versions/5/QtDBus libqcocoa.dylib
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtPrintSupport.framework/Versions/5/QtPrintSupport @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtPrintSupport.framework/Versions/5/QtPrintSupport libqcocoa.dylib
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets libqcocoa.dylib

But so far the plugin is recognized, but can not be loaded.

After we provided the libqcocoa plugin and QtDBus and its qsqllite dependency as follows:

provide the

Contents/MacOS/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib

and apply the following commands:

install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtSql.framework/Versions/5/QtSql @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtSql.framework/Versions/5/QtSql libqsqlite.dylib
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore libqsqlite.dylib

install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../MacOs/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib MitkWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib

MITK started!

missing icons in toolbar. For svg icon support we have to add the qt plugin :iconengines/libqsvgicon.dylib

add corresponding install commands to CMake/mitkInstallRules.cmake

Current master (3f608decdef1) following issue occures: Could not find QtWebEngineProcess

• cordes added a comment.Jun 5 2016, 10:52 PM

should be fixed in qt 5.6.1 (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50155)

can be temporarily fixed using the following commands:

cd .../Qt5.6.0/5.6/clang_64/lib/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Helpers/QtWebEngineProcess.app/Contents/MacOS

install_name_tool -rpath @loader_path/../../../../../../../../Frameworks @loader_path/../../../../../../../ ./QtWebEngineProcess

According to QTBUG-50155, this bug is resolved. We should check that and increase the minimum required Qt version to 5.6.1.

This problem still occurs when building a package both for Qt 5.6.1 and Qt 5.7.0.
The only way to make the Workbench start is to manually copy the the QtWebEngineCore.framework from <QtPath>/lib/ to the MitkWorkbench.app/Contents/Frameworks/
