> for dylib in $DYLIBS do install_name_tool -change $dylib $dylib` ~/tmp/bin/convert done Д¬onfirm that the install names have been changed and that libSystem is still pointing to /usr/lib/libSystem. This will make the dynamic linker look for the dylib in the same directory as where the executable is located. Use the install_name_tool to change the install name of all the dylibs we pulled out in the step above, and replace them by prepending the to the dylib name. > for dylib in $DYLIBS do cp $dylib ~/tmp/bin/ done > DYLIBS=`otool -L ~/tmp/bin/convert | grep '/opt' | awk -F' ' ''`Д¬opy all the dylibs that the executable references to the same dir where the executable has been copied to. I want to keep all other dylib references intact especially to /usr/lib/libSystem stuff. I only care about the dylibs in the /opt/local/lib dir, so we pull out only dylibs in /opt. opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.6) opt/local/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.6)

opt/local/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.2.0) opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 15.0.0, current version 15.0.0) opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.1.0) opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.4.0) opt/local/lib/libjpeg.8.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0, current version 12.0.0) usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0) opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib (compatibility version 13.0.0, current version 13.5.0) Get a list of the executables dylibs > otool -L ~/tmp/bin/convert I want to copy it to another dir and have it load its dylibs from the same directory as where I copied the executable. Let's say I have the following executable /opt/local/bin/convert and its dylibs are in /opt/local/lib. Applications/Bar.app/Contents/MacOS/./Frameworks/Foo.framework/Versions/A/Foo If you intend to embed the framework in Contents/Frameworks, then youД¬an just set Foo.framework's install name The If Bar.app is installed in will expand to /Applications/Bar.app/Contents/MacOS.

For example, let's say that Bar.app links againstДЇoo.framework. That, when placed at the beginning of a library's install name, getsД®xpanded to the path of the executable that's loading it, minus the The Mac's solution to this is This is a magic token The framework into /Library or a similar location. Sometimes you want to embed a framework into an application instead of having to install After reading the link that Justin provided, I was successfully able to use the token to change my dylib install_name to point to the same dir where my executable is Absolute paths are annoying.
