macdeployqt seems not work correctly

I am currently trying to deploy my Qt5.8 app on MacOs. A latest Travis job is here. I got the VNote.dmg file after using macdeployqt. Then I copied it to another MacOS and tried to run it, but got the following error:

/Applications/VNote/VNote.app/Contents/MacOS/VNote ; exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.8.0_1/lib/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore
  Referenced from: /Applications/VNote/VNote.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineWidgets
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
logout

Then I used otool -L /Applications/VNote.app/Contents/MacOS/VNote to get the output:

/Applications/VNote.app/Contents/MacOS/VNote:

Then otool -L /Applications/VNote.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineWidgets shows:

/Applications/VNote.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineWidgets:

    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.0.0)

The QtWebEngineWidgets seems to still reference the absolute path on the Travis env.

What should I do to deploy a Qt App? Thanks very much!

I think this is the bug of macdeployqt. It seems to not fix the dependency of all the frameworks. Instead, it just fix the direct dependencies of the executable.

Thanks to macdeployqtfix, which is a tool to do all the things macdeployqt forgot.

By the way, if your app uses QWebEngineWidget, you need to macdeployqt the helper QWebEngineProcess bundle, too.
