Unable to launch Big Mac from recovery menu #167

The USB installer created fine for Monterey 12.1 and my Mac Pro 5,1 boots it fine. (I built the app from my MBP running Xcode 13) When I click on the "Big Mac 2.0" app from the recovery menu, the app does not launch. Tried to manually launch the app in Terminal and get the following message: 

[-bash-3.2# ./bigmac2
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/swift/libswiftAppKit.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/bigmac2.app/Contents/MacOS/.bigmac2
Reason: image not found

Not sure what I did wrong or how to proceed.

Never mind. I mounted the booted volume as writable (mount -uw /) and copied the libswiftAppKit.dylib from another volume to the correct directory. Seems to work fine now.
