qt5 applications not finding platforms plugins

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
Actually when compiling and running a qt5 application I need to set up explicitly the environnement variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH or the application would not start with the error:
Fatal: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "".
It is not clear if this is a qt5 installation problem or if this should be handled by the application.
Thanks

It would help if I could reproduce this error.
What application is failing?
Is it a MacPorts application?

No this is not a MacPorts application, this in QGIS (from branch master) which now depends on QT5 that I am compiling.
All compiling tools (cmake) and qt5 libraries are from Macports installation.
This is why I said that it is not clear for me if this is a qt5 installation problem or if this should be handled by the application at compile time.
Afaik this problem does not occurs on linux platform.

I am sorry, but I do not know how to proceed from here.
If I can not reproduce the error, it is very difficult to fix.
By any chance, has some subsequent Qt updated fixed the problem?

Closing since is it very difficult to debug a non-MacPorts application.
Sorry I could not be more help.
In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (
port info --maintainers qt5), if any.
