Discussion: Hardcoded Path for `libdf.dylib`

[kernelism]

Issue

I cloned this repository and tried to run (was setting up with the intention of contributing), but encountered an error due to a missinglibdf.dylib file. The binary was trying to load the library from a hardcoded path (I think):

ERROR:root:MediaProcessor stderr: dyld[76079]: Library not loaded: /Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib
  Referenced from: <D97E0925-C695-374B-B6B3-07DFBF964189> /Users/arjuns/Downloads/fast-music-remover/MediaProcessor/build/MediaProcessor
  Reason: tried: '/Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib' (no such file)

This error suggests that MediaProcessor is looking for /Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib. Looks like libdf.dylib has an absolute install name (rpath) that points to the original developer's local machine?

After running otool -D MediaProcessor/lib/libdf.dylib:

MediaProcessor/lib/libdf.dylib:
/Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib

Was able to fix the issue with:

install_name_tool -change /Users/oyagci/fast-music-remover/DeepFilterNet/target/release/deps/libdf.dylib \
    /Users/arjuns/Downloads/fast-music-remover/MediaProcessor/lib/libdf.dylib \
    build/MediaProcessor

System Information

• Device: MacBook Air M2
• OS: macOS Sequoia 15.1
• CMake Version: 3.31.5

Would be nice to have this added to the documentation for manual building.

Hi @MinatoNamikaze02, thanks for opening this issue and the details. Just to confirm, you were on main, right?
Frankly, I'm super surprised, because I had seen this mistake, fixed it and verified it was done. Not sure know how it somehow crept back in... I'll take a look

I was on main, yes. I cloned a second time to verify. @omeryusufyagci
