macOS framework builds (--enable-framework) now produce relocatable frameworks. The installed framework can be moved to any location and will work without requiring install_name_tool rewriting by users. This uses install-time transformation: build-time behavior is unchanged (absolute install names), and install_name_tool transforms the installed binaries to use @rpath. Changes: - Add -headerpad_max_install_names to LINKFORSHARED and pythonw build - Transform dylib install name to @rpath at install time - Add LC_RPATH entries to installed binaries (bin/python3, Python.app) - Compute rpath depths dynamically via os.path.relpath() Signed-off-by: Dominique Fuchs <df@0x9d.net>

With these changes, macOS framework builds (--enable-framework) produce relocatable frameworks. The installed framework can be moved to any location and will work without requiring install_name_tool rewriting by users.
This uses install-time transformation: build-time behavior is unchanged (absolute install names), and install_name_tool transforms the installed binaries to use appropriate @rpath.
iOS target already uses
@rpathat build time because iOS builds are cross-compiled—there's no./python.exeexecution, no venvs, no shell script tests during development. macOS framework builds are different though and would break build-tree workflows because venv symlinks cause@executable_pathto resolve to the wrong directory, SIP stripsDYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATHfrom shell scripts, and so on.The install-time approach avoids all these issues, introducing no regression for build-tree workflows, follows existing patterns (CMake projects, Qt, ...) and makes the installed framework fully relocatable by default.
