macdeployqt can't find files at "/opt/local/lib/lib/xxx

When building random alt-coin qt-wallets using macports and Qt 5.3.2
Running macdeployqt seems to look for particular dependencies in an incorrect location.
In this case adding an extra /lib

The wallet-Qt runs fine prior to deployment while macdeployqt

ERROR: no file at "/opt/local/lib/lib/libdb_cxx-6.0.dylib" 

running otool shows nothing amiss

$otool -L wallet-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/wallet-Qt 
/opt/local/lib/db60/libdb_cxx-6.0.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)

Attempting to change it via install_name_tool has no effect.

install_name_tool -change "/opt/local/lib/lib/db60/libdb_cxx-6.0.dylib" "/opt/local/lib/db60/libdb_cxx-6.0.dylib" Generic-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Generic-Qt

The only way to actually deploy is to manually copy the file and using install_name_tool to change to "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libdb_cxx-6.0.dylib"

Where does this location featuring the extra /lib macdeployqt uses come from?

notes.
I'm using Qt creator 5.3.2.
I have no problems deploying with db4.8, it's only using db6.0

Hi,

IIRC, there was a bug in macdeployqt at some point while handling path containing lib. I'd recommend if possible to update your Qt version or if not possible, to compile a more recent version of macdeployqt.

I just noticed this in the how to build the peerunity qt for osx.
I managed to read that numerous times without ever appreciating it's content :p

A simple work around in plain sight

1.  Sym-link some shit

sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib /opt/local/lib/lib
