    • Can you tell us if you have self compiled that version or if you have installed it via a package-manager like Homebrew?

    • Have you tried the "official" binaries: http://bitcoincore.org/bin/?

    • Do you get the same result with 0.15.1?

    @jonasschnelli It was compiled on Litecoin, this seems to be an issue related to Mac OS X using Clang++ compiler and fucking up the linking to dependencies (read this on another GitHub issue).

    If you want to compile binaries that you can switch from system A to system B, try using the /depends compile system (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/depends) or use the "official" binaries. Closing.

    I encountered the same problem. It seemed that something was wrong with boost library. libboost_thread-mt.dylib referenced the libboost_system-mt.dylib, but the path is "@loader_path", and by now the last library did not copied into the Framework folder. I modified the deploy file (which is at contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus) roughly, copy the library into the Framework folder, and change the linkage reference before packing dmg, and it worked fine. " os.system("cp libboost_system-mt.dylib dist/xxx.app/Contents/Frameworks/")
    os.system("install_name_tool -change @loader_path/libboost_system-mt.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libboost_system-mt.dylib dist/xxx.app/Contents/Frameworks/libboost_chrono-mt.dylib")".

    @chaiyu2002 Hello,I encountered the same problem,can you show the detail of macdeployqtplus file you changed?Thanks.

    Hi @JiaTaoXie ,

    In our project I changed the macdeployqtplus file this way: https://github.com/Actinium-project/Actinium/commit/a4ef58a2d9a8fac7dd519600506724743f01e54b

    Don't forget to put libboost_system-mt.dylib into contrib/Frameworks folder so it can later be copied into the DMG.

    Regards,
