SFML assumes you're building a .app bundle. Notice it's complaining about not finding FreeType, which is a dependency of SFML (it's not complaining about finding SFML). And notice where it's looking for FreeType: @executable_path/../Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/A/freetype.

If your program (keeper) is in ., then OS X is looking for FreeType in ./../Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/A/freetype, and it's complaining that it can't find it. That because those SFML libraries think you've created a .app bundle, which would then have the necessary/assumed folder structure.

Your options are:

• Build a .app bundle that includes everything
• Put the dependencies (FreeType and sndfile) in the right spot manually (i.e. @executable_path/../Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/A/freetype)
• Build SFML yourself and change where/how it looks for its dependencies
