I'm using the line:

PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(v8, $V8_DIR/$PHP_LIBDIR, V8PHP_SHARED_LIBADD)

Where the path is /phpdev/lib. But my extension is actually linking to
/v8/out/x64.release/libv8.dylib instead of /phpdev/lib/libv8.dylib even
though /v8/out/x64.release no longer exists.

What am I doing wrong?

Luke

Was probably super obvious, but install_name_tool is how you fix the issue.
First use the "-id" parameter on the .dylib to fix the dylib. Then recompile
(or fix with -change flag).
