Comment:

 This port builds using the meson build system. When I build on macOS
 10.13.6, the only occurrence of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH within the work
 directory is in build/meson-private/build.dat, which is a binary file
 whose format I am not familiar with but inspecting it in an editor does
 seem to suggest that it is set to the right path. I'm using meson 0.58.1.

 Meson did not used to support macOS dynamic libraries at all, and when
 support for them was added, it was done in such a way that relied on
 rpath, a feature introduced in Mac OS X 10.5. To support 10.4, special
 patches were added to the meson port, and the meson port was pegged to an
 earlier version 0.55.3 presumably because some problems were encountered
 when attempting to use newer versions on 10.4, or maybe just because it
 had not yet been tested on those older systems.

 The code in meson that sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH] was not added until version
 0.58.0, which is why it's not present for you in 0.55.3 on 10.4.

 Cc'ing Ken who handles much of our older systems support. Ken, is there a
 way to update meson to 0.58.0 or newer on 10.4, or to backport this patch?
