Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 2 Invalid Page

I am following the "install from source" guide to test build on my m1 Macbook Air. It builds successfully but the app would not run:

I don't have a mac device right now, so I can't help you much, but I remember having this issue when I tried to compile on a mac, I don't exactly remember how I fixed it though. MacOS requires the executable to be signed to execute. I think executing the raw sioyek executable (instead of the packaged app) works if I remember correctly.

What do you mean by "raw sioyek executable (instead of the packaged app)"? In the build fold, there is only one .app which requires signing.

% codesign --sign - sioyek.app
sioyek.app: code object is not signed at all
In subcomponent: build/sioyek.app/Contents/MacOS/keys_user.config

I managed to sign the app with:

codesign --force --deep --sign - sioyek.app

But it is asking for libpng in a location that doesn't exist:

'/usr/lib/libpng16.16.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)Library not loaded: @loader_path/../../../../../../../opt/pcre2/lib/libpcre2-16.0.dylib

Is this hardcoded in a script somewhere?

The locally build version:

/build/sioyek.app/Contents/MacOS/sioyek ; exit;
dyld[1065]: Library not loaded: @loader_path/../../../../../../../opt/libpng/lib/libpng16.16.dylib

As a comparison, the publicly released version:

Desktop/sioyek.app/Contents/MacOS/sioyek ; exit;

You can open the .app like a directory and find the executable inside.
