# On Mac OS X, binaries refer to dynamic library dependencies using
# either relative paths (e.g. "libicudata.dylib", searched relative to
# $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) or absolute paths
# (e.g. "/nix/store/.../lib/libicudata.dylib").  In Nix, the latter is
# preferred since it allows programs to just work.  When linking
# against a library (e.g. "-licudata"), the linker uses the install
# name embedded in the dylib (which can be shown using "otool -D").
# Most packages create dylibs with absolute install names, but some do
# not.  This setup hook fixes dylibs by setting their install names to
# their absolute path (using "install_name_tool -id").  It also
# rewrites references in other dylibs to absolute paths.
