Why is this library not found on Mac OS X? - macos

I'm making a small proof of concept of using CEF on MacOSX. I took the Chromium Embedded Framework.framework and changed it's rpath by running:
install_name_tool -id "#rpath/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework" Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework.framework/Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework
and then compiled and run the program like this:
$ ./cefobjchelper.app/Contents/MacOS/cefobjchelper
dyld: Library not loaded: #executable_path/Chromium Embedded Framework
Referenced from: /Users/pupeno/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/cefobjc-bxtruyemnyagwwgdejtzuxngovsr/Build/Products/Debug/./cefobjchelper.app/Contents/MacOS/cefobjchelper
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
I understand that #executable_path/Chromium Embedded Framework doesn't really exist, but why is it even looking for it when I corrected the path in the CEF?
Just to be sure I checked that the CEF included in the bundle had the correct path and it did:
$ otool -D cefobjchelper.app/Contents/Frameworks/Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework.framework/Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework
cefobjchelper.app/Contents/Frameworks/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework:
#rpath/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework
What am I missing here?

The reason was that there was an extra framework path from a previous experimentation with another copy of the library somewhere else on my home directory and removing that library from the list of linked libraries didn't remove the the path, so re adding it from the new location, was picking it up, for linking but not embedding, from the old location.

Tesseract .net on macos, how to reference libdl.dylib on macOS12?

I'm running a .net application that requires a reference to libdl.so
System.DllNotFoundException : Unable to load shared library 'libdl.so' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(liblibdl.so, 0x0001): tried: 'liblibdl.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/liblibdl.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/liblibdl.so' (no such file), '/Users/Amplicity/Documents/liblibdl.so' (no such file)
After some light reading, i found that libdl.so is the linux equivalent of libdl.dylib, I then tried to find libdl.dylib on my machine.
➜ lib locate libdl.dylib
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/tvOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libdl.dylib
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/watchOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libdl.dylib
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libdl.dylib
There are only tvos, watchos, and ios signed libdl.dylib's available. Some more light reading reveals that somewhere around xcode 7, .dylib files were replaced with .tbd, which is a text file that references dylibs elsewhere.
➜ lib locate libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVOS.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVSimulator.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/WatchOS.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/WatchSimulator.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.0.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.3.sdk/usr/lib/libdl.tbd
I attempted to symlink the .tbd to the .so that my .net application expects, but .net complained that it was net a mach-o file.
I then attempted to symlink the tvos .dylib to the .so, and got a different error stating that it needed to be signed for macos.
How can I find/conjure libdl.dylib on macOS12, so that I may directly reference it in my application?
I suppose you cannot rebuild that application, cause currently libdl.so` would not be requested as it is not deployed anymore as standalone.
Try to make symlink of libdl.so to libc.so (or whichever version is installed with your .net platform package, libc.so.x)

Gazebo on OSX 10.11 fails to start. Library "libOgreTerrain" missing

I followed the tutorial from the official guide in order to install Gazebo 6, on OSX 10.11.
But, when I try to run gazebo, I get the following error.
It doesn't find the libOgrePaging library.
$ gazebo
dyld: Library not loaded: #executable_path/../Components/libOgrePaging.1.7.4.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libOgreTerrain.1.7.4.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Can I install manually this library?
Thank you very much for your time,
Kostas.
After some quest, I solve this issue by doing the following. In my case, I have two libs missing (libBulletDynamics.2.86.dylib and libOgrePaging.1.7.4.dylib), both installed but not linked.
To look for where are they:
find /usr/local/Cellar -name "libOgrePaging.1.7.4.dylib"
Add the containing lib to the end of ~/.bash_profile:
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/bullet/2.86.1_1/lib:/usr/local/Cellar/ogre/1.7.4_2/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH
And source it
source ~/.bash_profile
Reference:
Is it OK to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X? And, what's the dynamic library search algorithm with it?
dyld: Library not loaded ... Reason: Image not loaded
This is probably not the correct solution, but it seems to work for me so far.
Go to /usr/local/Cellar/gazebo6/6.60_2(or whatever version it is)/ and make a folder called Components.
After that, go to /usr/local/Cellar/ogre/1.7.4/lib and copy all of the contents into the components folder, and then gazebo should launch.

Xcode can run my program, but I can't run it manually

I have a project with a dynamic library and an executable that links against it. I can successfully start it with Xcode, but when I try to run it from the command line, dyld complains about the library not being in the install path:
$ /Users/USER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECT/Build/Products/Debug/EXECUTABLE
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libMyLib.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECT/Build/Products/Debug/EXECUTABLE
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
The problem is quite clear: the library isn't in its advertised install path. However, I don't really want to deploy it there, and besides, Xcode still manages to start my program.
How can I run my program without installing the library in /usr/local/lib?
If you're relying on a dylib, then it needs to be installed in the appropriate location.
Using a framework might help, as you can package it in your application, using #executable_path...
But then, of course, you won't be able to share it across different applications.
So basically, you need to tell Xcode to install your dynamic library.
This can be done in your build settings, in the Deployment section.
Mainly, Deployment location, Installation directory, Skip install, etc...
Note that you can also do this for frameworks, installing them into /Library/Frameworks/

MacRuby release app missing libmacruby.dylib

Using XCode 4.5.2 and MacRuby 0.12, my app works fine on my computer but the release version won't work on others computers :
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.12/usr/lib/libmacruby.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/Desktop/PocheFactory.app/Contents/MacOS/PocheFactory
Reason: image not found
I have checked my deployment settings and they seems fine:
In the BuildPhases->"Link Binary With Libraries", I have the "MacRuby.framework" required and in the BuildSettings->Framework Search Paths, I have include "/Library/Frameworks" with recursive option.
How come this particular library is not included within the release version?
Any idea?
Rather than figuring out the right Xcode settings, it's much easier to run this:
/usr/local/bin/macruby_deploy --compile --embed
I got this info from Matt Aimonetti's MacRuby, The Definitive Guide.
(The last command argument was stripped off: it's the path to the application bundle in Derived Data that was created by Xcode.)

Deploying Qt Frameworks with Mac app and usage of otool

I have a problem deploying Qt frameworks with my Mac app, and I hope some will have a clue why I get this error, when I run the app on clean Mac, i.e. not a developer Mac.
OS: 10.7 .2 and using XCode
Error msg:
Library not loaded: #loader_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4.0/QtCore
Referenced from:/Users/someUser/Downloads/MainApp.app/Contents/Resources/Lib/Library.bundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/../Frameworks/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml
Clearly something is wrong since the QtXml is referenced from /../Frameworks/../Frameworks, which doesn’t exists.
This is the set up: I have a dylib that uses QtCore and QtXml (not by my choosing, but for now I need those two frameworks), the dylib is used in a NSBundle, which is loaded by the main app, the bundle is located in the resource folder. The dylib is moved by Copy Files Build Phase to the folder Contents/Frameworks and with otool the install_name is set to (as stated by http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.3/deployment-mac.html):
#loader_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4.0/QtCore
#loader_path/../Frameworks/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml
then the Qt frameworks are moved to Contents/Frameworks and the install_name of the is set to:
#executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4.0/QtCore
and for the QtXml
#executable_path/../Frameworks/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml
with reference to QtCore:
#executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4.0/QtCore
Now when I run the app on the developer mac it clearly works since Qt is installed, but when moved to a clean mac I get the error msg, readable in the Console app.
I’ve tried to change the executable_path to loader_path, but this didn’t work.
I have no idea what I’m doing wrong or why it won't for, and have not been able to find anything on Google, of course I could be looking at the wrong places. Any ideas how to fix this problem?
This is the entire error message:
MainApp: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3587 "The bundle

On the development mac everything works because the Qt libraries are installed. On any mac you ship the app to, though, this likely won't be the case. The Qt suite comes with a tool called macdeployqt to fix this. So in a terminal, after you've compiled your application, do something like:
# cd my-cool-app-Desktop
# macdeployqt my-cool-app.app
Note that it can also be used to create a .dmg file for shipping everything together:
# cd my-cool-app-Desktop
# macdeployqt my-cool-app.app -dmg
Once you've done that, the .app directory or .dmg file can be given to someone else without Qt installed to use and run as they normally would.
The one caveat is that the next time you try to run it on your developer machine, it may complain about multiple shared libraries installed. So once you've copied it else where in order to distribute it, remove the entire .app directory and let qtcreator (or whatever) rebuild it.
UPDATE
As stated compiling QT to static libs is the way to go. With the release of Mavericks (10.9) we need to codesign frameworks as well (http://furbo.org/2013/10/17/code-signing-and-mavericks/), and with QT4.8.5 there are some issues (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32896). Even with suggested fixes I still had some issues when running the app on a clean machine. Therefore, I ended up with compiling Qt5.2 to staticlibs, link them in the app, and codesign them.
OLD
Problem sovled, I moved the Qt-frameworks into the app bundle in Contents/Frameworks and with otool set the path to #executable_path/../Frameworks, i.e. moved it out of my library bundle. Yes the solution is simple, but I'm still not sure why the library executable couldn't find the frameworks when using #loader_path.
The best solution would probably be to use a static library and not wrap it in a bundle...you learn everyday ;)
