Jean-Yves thanks lots.
For me osx is a bit alien but I have already got and use the mysql plugin after some packager hell to make a dmg that contains the plugin so the resulting framework contains the mysql plugin.

I’ve looked around some but I cannot get the build script to run, even downloading qt-anywhere-src and putting that in .osx-packager/src where upon the fail occurs after an hour or so. 

Is an osx build achievable ?
My entire linux backend is built from git so I’m not naive just overwhelmed by this seemingly impossible task
