    Description

      I'm using qt 5.1 and having troubles with deployment of my QtQuick application on Mac OS X

      I use dynamical linking with QT. The root of problem is in links to QT libraries which are written into executable after build. They are right, but contains double slashes

      otool -L TestDeployment.app/Contents/MacOS/TestDeployment
      
      TestDeployment.app/Contents/MacOS/TestDeployment:
       /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/clang_64/lib/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick (compatibility version 5.1.0, current version 5.1.0)
       /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/clang_64/lib/QtQml.framework/Versions/5/QtQml (compatibility version 5.1.0, current version 5.1.0)
       /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/clang_64/lib/QtNetwork.framework/Versions/5/QtNetwork (compatibility version 5.1.0, current version 5.1.0)
       /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/clang_64/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (compatibility version 5.1.0, current version 5.1.0)
       /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/clang_64/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/5/QtGui (compatibility version 5.1.0, current version 5.1.0)
       /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
       /System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/AGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
       /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 56.0.0)
       /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 169.3.0)
      
      

      As you can see - there is a double slash - /Users/username/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/

      As a result when I run macdeployqt on my app bundle, it uses install_name_tool to change links. But it pass path to QT with one slash only. As a result install_name_tool is looking for a link with one slash inside executable, can't find that, and link stays unchanged.

      How to reproduce:

      1. Create QtQuick 2 Application
      2. Build it
      3. Run otool -L on executable to check what libraries you are linking to - the must be double slash in the path to your qt installation dir
      4. Run macdeployqt on a bundle
      5. Run otool -L again. All links will stay absolute, but must be relative
