BUG: MacOS support libraries end up into `res://build/*`

[clemens-tolboom]

After #33 lands we still face:

The MacOS build process results in the supporting files into res://build/ directory.

Fiddling removing /build makes them required in res:// aka the root of the demo project. Which is worse.

We do not understand this dynamics on MacOS. Help needed.

[clemens-tolboom]

Making the link arguments more explicit we are building into the Godot dir but grab the sub libraries from the src/*/build/

g++
  -o demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib <========== into demo

  -arch x86_64
  -dynamiclib
  src/gdlibrary.os
  src/geodata.os
  src/geodot.os
  src/geofeatures.os src/geoimage.os

  -Lgodot-cpp/bin <================ why is this behaving 'normal' ?
  -Lsrc/raster-tile-extractor/build <====== causing trouble
  -Lsrc/vector-extractor/build  <====== causing trouble
  -L/usr/local/Cellar/gdal/3.2.1/lib <==== System required

  -lgodot-cpp.osx.release.64
  -lRasterTileExtractor
  -lVectorExtractor
  -lgdal

So what would happen when building local then copy into demo/**?

Some more info about dynlib

and

So in short

otool /Applications/Godot_v3.2.4-rc1_osx.universal.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot -L

helps a little for understanding and

otool demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib -L
otool demo/build/libVectorExtractor.dylib 
otool demo/build/libVectorExtractor.dylib  -L
otool /usr/local/opt/gdal/lib/libgdal.dylib -L

shows ways to fix stuff hopefully.

Remarks

otool -L demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib
demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib

this is the wrong answer as it probably should be relative to the project root /addons

cd demo/addons/geodot/osx
install_name_tool -change demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib  "addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib" libgeodot.dylib

This is not working ... it should be in an application context I guess?

Export game

If I export the game to MacOS App we get (too few files but what can we do here)

find ./Demo.app -type f
./Demo.app/Contents/MacOS/Demo
./Demo.app/Contents/Resources/icon.icns
./Demo.app/Contents/Resources/Demo.pck
./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgeodot.dylib
./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libRasterTileExtractor.dylib
./Demo.app/Contents/Info.plist
./Demo.app/Contents/PkgInfo

Check path

otool -L ./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgeodot.dylib
./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgeodot.dylib:
    demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
...

Change path

Invalidates signature so that is not how should be done

install_name_tool -change demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib  "@executable_path/../Frameworkslibgeodot.dylib" Demo.app/Contents/MacOS/Demo

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: warning: changes being made to the file will invalidate the code signature in: Demo.app/Contents/MacOS/Demo (for architecture arm64)

Recheck path

Name is not changed ... arg

otool -L ./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgeodot.dylib
./Demo.app/Contents/Frameworks/libgeodot.dylib:
    demo/addons/geodot/osx/libgeodot.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
...

ARM64?

Demo.app/Contents/MacOS/Demo (for architecture arm64)

Wot?!?
