QtXml linking issue OSX file not found for architecture x86_64 (but file IS x86_64)

Question

I'm trying to compile a Qt creator project that uses QtXml, and everything is happy except for the fact that apparently QtXml is not the right format. The linking flags are:

-F/Library/Frameworks -L/Library/Frameworks -L../../../lib/ -lutils -framework QtTest -framework IOKit -framework Security -framework ApplicationServices -framework QtCore -framework QtGui 

and then the linker complains with

ld: file not found: QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml for architecture x86_64

BUT file gives me:

file /Library/Frameworks/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml
/Library/Frameworks/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

So I'm confused, the file is there, seems to be the right architecture, but no banana.

does anyone know what's going on ?

thanks,

Jonathan

Answer 1

got it, I was compiing with Clang (LLVM) should've compiled with gcc (probably the Mach-O should've tipped me off, could anyone elaborate on this ?)
