Description

Got error after successful build using CMake on Mac OSX High Sierra. Qt5 was installed using Qt Online Installer for macOS.

The error message when running Dolphin:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: cocoa.

After inspecting with otool the problem was the @rpath (LC_RPATH) which not set on the Dolphin executable (target dolphin-emu) which needed by libqcocoa.dylib.

otool -L Binaries/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/platforms/libqcocoa.dylib

I faced the same issue on a fresh system, although with more output:

You might be loading two sets of Qt binaries into the same process. Check that all plugins are compiled against the right Qt binaries. Export DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 and check that only one set of binaries are being loaded.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Applying the proposed fix to CMakeLists txt and re-building doesn't work for me:

Might have something to do that I provided Qt5_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.12.2 upon running CMake? It doesn't find Qt otherwise.
Please let me know if this is a different issue that should be filed separately.

I can't reproduce this with a very similar setup (only the Qt version is newer IIRC).
Could you try to bisect the issue?

I've got same exact error message on macOS Mojave (10.14.3), and the solution is still the same.

When I read again my blog: https://firodj.wordpress.com/2018/08/09/qt5-mac-osx-build-dolphin/ maybe to place where the custom command to put has an effect and it is after dolphin_postprocess_bundle(dolphin-emu).

My setup for env on ~/.bash_profile:

export Qt5_DIR=/usr/local/opt/qt5
export PATH=$PATH:$Qt5_DIR/bin

Then just rebuild with cmake --build .
Could you make sure if the LC_RPATH take effect? with otool -l (small letter l), see my blog.
I am using cmake version 3.14.3 and qt 5.12.2 from Homebrew.
