Fix missing transitive rpath for fetched dependencies on macOS#33
Merged
Conversation
_bd_relocatable_macos never received depends_prefixes, unlike its Linux counterpart _bd_relocatable_elf, so a fetched dependency's own dylib never got an rpath entry for its own dependencies' lib directories. Any binary linking only the top-level dependency (not its transitive shared-lib dependencies) would then fail to load at runtime with a dyld "Library not loaded" error, since neither the binary nor the dependency's dylib recorded where to find it. Mirror the existing patchelf-based Linux logic: add install_name_tool -add_rpath calls using @loader_path-relative paths to each dependency prefix's lib directory.
