Hi:
I developed a qt project on macos, my executable file link the qt framework like this :
@rpath/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets (compatibility version 5.11.0, current version 5.11.3)

now I want to change the @rpath to the custom directory path which in my .app content directory, what should I do in my .pro file, thanks a lot!

You can do something like this

unix:QMAKE_RPATHDIR += /usr/mylib

This may help.

@Princein
May be DEFINES += MY_LIB_PATH=/usr/mylib
and use "$$MY_LIB_PATH"

Had a similar problem, I resorted to use the tools inside Xcode's toolchain, there are 2 of them: otool and install_name_tool

otool you use to dump what .dlls the app will try to load. Easiest is to first navigate down to the MacOS subdirectory where the .exe file is located, then to list the load command (assuming your app is called untitled) try:
otool -l untitled

To change the @rpath loading commands, you use install_name_tool, for example:
install_name_tool -change @rpath/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets @rpath/YourCustomDirectoryPath untitled
