      Hi everyone! I have a question about deploy app with third-party lib on macOS. I have a project with a few third-party libs. And I use macdeployqt tool from Qt bin folder. This tool is coping all libs to target app bundle. That’s works fine. But in my project one third-party lib is using another lib. All libs was copied to app bundle but app doesn’t work on customer mac, because app can’t find lib. I found the problem. Some of third-party lib is usage gnutls and this is using nettle lib. When macdeployqt tool copy libs they have incorrect path. I can use install_name_tool to fix this. How I can do this recursive for all libs? Maybe some of you has a script for this? Thanks for any help.

        So, you're defining all the libraries in the .pro file?

            @Charlie_Hdz I check it. And still have a problem.

            The result of tool -l command for application binary file looks like:

	/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0)

            When I try to open my application on customer Mac I receive error:

            dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/Cellar/nettle/3.4/lib/libnettle.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Volumes/HPDD/PROJECTS/QtProjects/GIT/iOS_Device_Manager/qt/build-MatterPortBackup-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_clang_64bit2-Production/Xtended Backup Manager.app/Contents/Frameworks/libhogweed.4.dylib
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

            But, as you can see the library libhogweed and libnettle has correct path for application binary file. If I try to use tool -l for library libhogweed I get this result:

            andrewsh$ otool -L /Volumes/HPDD/PROJECTS/QtProjects/GIT/iOS_Device_Manager/qt/build-MatterPortBackup-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_clang_64bit2-Production/Xtended\ Backup\ Manager.app/Contents/Frameworks/libhogweed.4.dylib

	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.0.0)

            As you can see the problem in incorrect path for libhogweed which usage libnettle.

              Has your computer this library path, right?

              /Volumes/HPDD/PROJECTS/QtProjects/GIT/iOS_Device_Manager/qt/build-MatterPortBackup-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_clang_64bit2-Production/Xtended

              Does your customer Mac has the same path?

                No. This example from my another Mac where I have the same path for application.

                  Ok, maybe you need to explicitly set the libraries path from your customer, also, maybe they're being shared implicitly.

                      Hi,

                      You should run ma deploy Qt with the verbose option on to see what is happening with these external libraries.

                      If it’s only this one you can copy it by hand and run install_name_tool on it.

                          Yes, but you need to do this for every lib which generate this error.

                          install_name_tool -change "old_path" "@executable_path/../Frameworks/lib_name" lib_path_for_update
install_name_tool -change "old_path" "@executable_path/../Frameworks/lib_name" app_binnary_path_for_update

                          If you find a way to use this commands for all lib and sub-libs by script let me know, because for now I use this for every lib manually.

                              I'm sure it's about this bug:
                              https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56814

                              but the fix is not complete, it can't deal with some libraries , such as ffmpeg and nettle.

                              I made a bugfix here: https://github.com/ngn999/qttools/commit/5be4d44508c3a8b4d739de30929d9158b84b4e50

                              based on 6.2.4.

                                @ngn999 hi and welcome to devnet,

                                Would you make a submission to the official repo so it can be integrated for all ? :-)

                                    GitHub is just a mirror. Here you can find the procedure to get you started. Don't worry about the size of the page, it's just very detailed instructions :-)

                                        by the way, the workflow is complex.

                                          I also found it the first time but it quickly becomes easier.

                                          You forgot to add reviewers. Usually the best is to check the persons that reviewed the submissions applied to the file you changed.
