(After discussion with @britzl and @mathiaswking) The bundle_resources directory has some internal structure for the different platforms. For macos, dynamic libraries are typically under osx/Contents/MacOS, intended for the corresponding directory in the .app. Ideas:

attempt to copy libraries for host platform to the build directory
adjust library load path for dmengine
do a "light" bundling on build and run the resulting .app

+1 for this. I have the same issue for the FMOD and Discord Rich Presence extensions (using the res dir from native extensions instead of bundle_resources, but the principle should be the same). Currently I'm asking the library user to copy the libraries to a folder in their project manually:

Then, I have to do this crazy thing to obtain the path to them in order to load them with dlopen():
