C++ & SFML program running on another Mac

In general Mac apps are meant to be self contained. If your app depends on a third-party library, you must package that library within your app. The usual place for such things in the

Contents/Frameworks/

directory within your app’s bundle.

When doing this you must also configure your app’s reference to the library to be relative rather than absolute (using tokens like

@executable_path

or

@rpath

). This happens automatically when you build the library with Xcode but it can be tricky when dealing with third-party libraries. My recommendation is that you first create a test project with a test dynamic library (you can create that from the Mac OS > Library template and then selecting Dynamic from the Type popup) and see how the resulting app gets packaged. Then try replicating this with your own build system.
