Adding QT Framework to my .app package
Im after the documentation on the Qt website in the "Deployment" section. I created an application called HTTPClient.app
I created the Framework folder in the “Content” section and copied crypto ++ and qscintilla and Qt and looks like this:

then I ran install_name_tool -id -change
DylibFile=libqscintilla2.11.dylib
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
and the same for crypto ++. I did the following for Qt Frameworks
DylibFile=QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
DylibFile=QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
DylibFile=QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
DylibFile=QtSql.framework/Versions/5/QtSql
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
DylibFile=QtNetwork.framework/Versions/5/QtNetwork
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/Frameworks/$DylibFile
install_name_tool -change $DylibFile @executable_path/../Frameworks/$DylibFile $ProjectName.app/Contents/MacOS/$ProjectName
Now when I run otool, I get the following:

I get the path of crypto and qscintilla, but should the Qt framework not follow the same pattern? It still points to the starting path.
