On OS X, Qt is building plugins as dynamic libraries, instead of bundles, which is the more appropriate format for the platform. This was filed as QTBUG 2227 six years ago, but it was marked as closed without any work done on it, even though there was a patch listed. For the Fink package manager, we have been successful in locally patching the Qt4 and Qt5 sources to correct the plugin file type and extension.
However, when I tried to start building the KDE5 frameworks on OS X, a new related issue appeared whereas the Qt5 cmake files referenced the plugin with the original .dylib extension and not the patched .so extension that the physical file is now using (this is all documented in QTBUG 2227). I have not been able to find the code that generates the .cmake files to figure out why it is not honoring the file extension change. It was suggested on IRC that I reach out to the qt-dev mailing list to get a fresh look at QTBUG 2227.
