qt5.6 macdeployqt creates broken paths for Helpers like QtWebEngineProcess

pavel_abr

Hello all,

I'm using the brew version of Qt5.6. When I run macdeployqt MyApp.app, I seem to get all the frameworks and libraries linked correctly.

However, if I move the MyApp.app file to a different Mac where qt is not installed, I get errors running the app.

Running otool -L /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Helpers/QtWebEngineProcess.app/Contents/MacOS/QtWebEngineProcess returns this:

/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick (compatibility version 5.6.0, current version 5.6.0)
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui (compatibility version 5.6.0, current version 5.6.0)

/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtPositioning.framework/Versions/5/QtPositioning (compatibility version 5.6.0, current version 5.6.0)
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (compatibility version 5.6.0, current version 5.6.0)

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1226.10.1)

Instead of referencing the package's versions of QtWebEngineCore, it references the installed versions in /usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0 (that won't exist on a different machine) and promptly crashes.

I've played around with install_name_tool, but can't get it to work correctly. And advice here is appreciated.

Addendum:
I've tried to run the following script (in the QtWebEngineProcess Helpers directory) :
sudo install_name_tool -add_rpath "/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/" QtWebEngineProcess
sudo install_name_tool -change "/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.0/lib/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore" "@rpath/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore" QtWebEngineProcess
... for each broken link.
However, now when I try to run my app I get the error of:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick Referenced from: /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks//QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore Reason: image not found
