Comment (by kencu):

 most of the time, my meson hack for Tiger actually works, which surprises
 me sometimes to be honest.

 For ports that run software during the build or install phases, a hand-
 tweaked workaround is needed.

 See for example {{{ati-spi2-core}}} , where I added this block:
 {{{
 platform darwin 8 {
     # meson on Tiger cannot use rpaths, so we workaround with this to find
 dylib
     destroot.env-append    "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${build_dir}/atspi"
 }
 }}}

 to allow the binaries to find the dylib during the destroot phase.

 This is the best I have for now. A proper fix for meson, that does not use
 @rpaths, is possible -- they do it on Windows -- but is hard to do.

 Some method that might allow Tiger to support @rpaths would be great, but
 that seems very hard to do.
