[Qt-interest] Help with Mac OS X Deployment

[Peter Lee]

You'll have to use the 'install_name_tool' and 'otool' utilities in OS X 
to ensure that your Qt library can find the Qt frameworks.

Use 'otool -L <library>' to work out what framworks / libraries your 
library is depending on... and then you can use 'install_name_tool 
-change' to change those to entries that make sense for your bundle and 
library.  You'll also need to look at the Qt frameworks... and change 
their dependencies as well.  They'll all be referring to 
/Library/Frameworks etc.  They will also probably need their id changed 
as well - 'install_name_tool -id'.

I'm not sure if macdeployqt handles a library - from your message I take 
it that it doesn't - but you could possibly hack it up to cope with your 
situation.

Peter Lee
