macOS still missing some libs after build: QtDbus, libprotobuf.

[fractalshine]

Describe the problem

Expected behavior: successful app launch

Actual behavior: App crash due to missing libs: QtDbus, libprotobuf.

How to reproduce

Build environment :
Clang: 15.0.0 build 1500
Git: 2.39.3 => /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git
Curl: 8.7.1 => /usr/bin/curl
macOS: 14.7-arm64
CLT: 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388

Testing environment:
macOS 15.0.1-arm64

investigation

Not sure if my build setup configured in right way.

QtDbus
To resolve problem with QtDbus changed CmakeLists.txt, added

target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::DBus)

according documentation https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtdbus-index.html

protobuf

Got error with compilation process of protobuf (C++ versions less than C++14 are not supported)
resolved according to protocolbuffers/protobuf#12393
-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=14 to cmake arguments libs/build_deps_all.sh

Protobuf now compiled w/o errors but crash still occurs, libprotobuf is missing

The build process should involve running libs/build_deps_all.sh to build the deps, then running cmake and ninja to build the app, and if you wanna ship it to another system, use macdeployqt to pack it up. Did you do these and get these errors in the end?

Yep did this steps as you described. On my macos build env app runs well because this libs are present in system. But on clean macos i'm experiencing crashes (libprotobuf is missing). Your builds from github actions run well on both of my macbooks.

Well, if you follow exactly the build process you should be able to ship the resulting AppDir. I suggest you try to make sure that you haven't missed any steps. Also make sure to ship the resulting AppDir and not the Nekoray executable that has been built.
