Line 29 disables the Qbs Bundle module functionality, in this case "tiled" will be a shared library "tiled.dylib" instead of a framework "tiled.framework".
Line 30, see http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qbs/qml-qbsmodules-cpp.html#sonamePrefix-prop , it's equivalent to http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-variable-reference.html . If I understand correctly, this is used to set the install_name of the library. The same as the output of the second line of otool -L tiled.dylib, or as set with install_name_tool. On 18.

You can either add an absolute rpath to the Qt libraries using cpp.rpaths (not recommended), or deploy the Qt libraries into your application bundle (this will be possible in a future version of Qbs without any external tools and will be done automatically).” I assume this is what the first alternative looks like: https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/blob/master/src/tiled/tiled.qbs#L43 That's a relative RPATH, not an absolute one. Ah, of course. I tried that and it helped me get a little further, but now I see that the library (https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/blob/master/lib/lib.qbs) is not installed into the frameworks directory: Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: slate.framework/Versions/A/slate Referenced from: /Volumes/*/slate.app/Contents/MacOS/slate Reason: image not found Would that have anything to do with the following lines? https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/blob/master/src/libtiled/libtiled.qbs#L29-L30 I copied your lib's .qbs file when switching to Qbs from qmake, but I was unsure about some lines so left them commented out... Oh, I guess you do that with this: https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/blob/master/src/libtiled/libtiled.qbs#L136 Then that makes me curious.. what is the purpose of lines 29 and 30? Tiled relies on macdeployqt to deploy the Qt libraries into the application bundle (so the second option). After that, a number of install names are manually fixed up using a custom script, because macdeployqt isn't doing it on all executables/libraries: https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/blob/260d20bd693fa816127b2450284c8ca443 1fd219/.travis.yml#L128-L131 https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/blob/master/dist/macos/fixup-install- names.rb Oof. Did you ever report a bug for that? But what about the recommended way? The comment says it should be possible, but judging from the fact the problem still exists, I’m guessing it never got fixed? Unfortunately Jake left and I guess much of what he planned to do with Qbs, especially regarding deployment on macOS, still remains to be done. Damn. Well, I reopened https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QBS-1204 at least, because this should be documented.
