Comment (by kaamui):

 I'm not manually placing the QtWebEngineProcess inside my app, it is added
 as a dependency like any other lib (except that this one contains an
 executable ?)

 I don't have to when using the default binaries (provided by Qt), but they
 aren't supporting proprietary codecs by default so I need to use the one
 provided by MacPorts.

 Is it some kind of issue in MacPorts way to build the Qt libs ? Should
 these libs already reference each others with relative paths or is it
 intentional and wanted by you and other devs handling these Qt ports ? I'm
 just curious.

 it looks like dylibbundler is performing what I was going to do manually :
 using install_name_tool everywhere it is needed. So it might indeed help,
 but I still wonder if it's just a workaround for a real issue that is
 remaining regarding dependencies.

 Also, you mention that "if I want to deploy MacPorts libraries to a
 different location as inside an app bundle" : my understanding is that it
 is mandatory and already what is always did when building an app. For
 example :

 }}}

 As you can see here, some Qt libs are referenced, but not with absolute
 path.

 Pleas forgive me if I say dubious things I'm not quite confortable on Mac.
