@didipiman Note: you can also use the script purr-data/packages/darwin_app/embed_MacOSX_dependencies.sh from the repo as a reference for how this works.. IIRC it only looks for deps that have homebrew path, so I'm not sure that it will properly pick up that libusb dylib. But you can at least have a look at the script to see how it works.

thanks. i did that and then i tried something that was in the helios documentation, even though it was supposedly for El Capitan, which is not my OS.
installed homebrew from https://brew.sh/
then on a terminal i ran:brew install libusb
and that was it. pd now loads helios. (hooray).
however, i still get thousands of errors printed on the post window upon startup. my startup preferences are obviously wrong. is there a template for a neatly organised startup preferences file i can check out to make sure mine looks as similar as that? or at least, what’s the general idea? i mean if there is a search path to /Applications/Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/extra
do i still need to specify other paths for individual libraries such as:/Applications/Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/extra/ggee /Applications/Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/extra/zexy /Applications/Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/extra/cyclone
and so on?
many many thanks!!!

Oh-- remove the "-verbose" flag we used to debug the issue.
Also note-- you're version of helios is probably finding the libusb dylib in the homebrew lib directory. So if you use your same patch on a machine where you didn't install homebrew, helios will no longer work.
Nevertheless-- glad to hear you've got it running!

ye, i already removed the "-verbose" flag, but it's still printing a ton of errors including (but not limited to)
pd_helios: can't load library
...confusingly enough
