pyinstaller not working with gphoto2; how do i force a brew library into the build

[Craigs List]

I'm attempting to build a project with gphoto2.  gphoto2 requires brew install libgphoto2.

The binary is created successfully, but when I run the binary on a machine that doesn't have libgphoto2, it fails.  once i brew install the package is continues to work.

help?

1. Try opening the spec file and after the line that says 'block_cipher = None' put:

def get_gphoto2_path():

     import gphoto2

     gphoto2_path = gphoto2.__path__[0]

     return gphoto2_path

2. Then after the lines that say 'pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data, cipher=block_cipher)' put:

dict_tree = Tree(get_gphoto2_path(), prefix='gphoto2', excludes=["*.pyc"])
a.datas += dict_tree
a.binaries = filter(lambda x: 'gphoto2' not in x[0], a.binaries)

3. Then go to your command line and run the following command:

pyinstaller your_file_name.spec --specpath=test

Then run the executable.

It seems to have progressed into another problem:

Also, libgphoto is a collection of dylib
