Cannot find SXMPMeta::Initialize() in XMP SDK (Qt widget App)

I'm trying to write a simple Qt Widget Application that allows me to read and write .XMP files using Qt framework&& Adobe XMP SDK on OS X 10.10.

I'm a rookie and by no means proffesional in C++(and have basic/intermediate self-taught knowledge of C++ and Qt, which means I'm dependent on google when trying to do something and sometimes end up using bad habits or code that can be simplified)

1. I have downloaded and built the XMP SDK from Adobe and built part of the examples
   
   

  (for some reason or another I have not been able to build the other ones, but that's not that important right now). 

2. I have built the static 64bit version of the libraries (libXMPCoreStatic.a&& libXMPFilesStatic.a)
   
   
3. Together with the include folder from the public folder I've placed them in my Qt Widget App project's folder into subfolder Framework
   
4. I have linked the libraries to my project (in my .pro file):
   
   

   LIBS +=-L$$PWD/XMPFramework/-lXMPCoreStatic 
   LIBS +=-lXMPFilesStatic 
   
   INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/XMPFramework/include/
   DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/XMPFramework/  
   
   PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/XMPFramework/libXMPCoreStatic.a 
   PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/XMPFramework/libXMPFilesStatic.a

   
   
   
5. I have included the XMP in my app (basic app just for testing if I can connect and use some basics of XMP SDK) - mainwindow.cpp :    
   
   
   

   #include"mainwindow.h"
   #include"ui_mainwindow.h"
   #include<cstdio>
   #include<string>
   #include<cstring>  
   
   #define MAC_ENV 1//don't know why, but when I don't explicitly
                     //define this, then the app won't build
   
   // Must be defined to instantiate template classes
   //#define TXMP_STRING_TYPE std::string  
   //when used, I get whole range of errors, there's a sample at the end of the question  
   
   // Must be defined to give access to XMPFiles
   #define XMP_INCLUDE_XMPFILES 1
   
   #include<XMP.incl_cpp>//XMP INCLUDE
   #include<XMP.hpp>   //XMP INCLUDE  
   
   MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*parent):QMainWindow(parent), ui(newUi::MainWindow)
   {
       ui->setupUi(this);
       //this if is taken from the sample code
       //for the SDK, the problem is that
       //my project does not know the SXMPMeta
       //but seems to know at least part of the SDK
       //because at least part of the classes and methods
       //are visible through the intellisense
       if(!SXMPMeta::Initialize())
       {
           //the project does not react to SXMPMeta
           //and does not know it, even though the
           //XCode project I've built from the SDK's samples
           //seems to be ok...
       }
   }  
   ...the rest omitted for brevity...    

   
   
   
   Do you see some mistakes i've made or the reason the SXMPMeta class is not present?

Sample of the errors I get when I try to use #define TXMP_STRING_TYPE std::string. My thought is that it has something to do with the initialization of the templated XMP classes
