Trace/BPT trap: 5
The libluajit-5.1.2.dylib is not present in /usr/local/lib but in Contents/Frameworks/libluajit-5.1.2.0.2.dylib
I guess the error is at the compilation or link level because I have:
$ otool -L Solarus\ XD.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/solarus

libphysfs.1.dylib is also in Contents/Frameworks/libphysfs.1.dylib and is referenced as @rpath/libphysfs.1.dylib in the binary. But libluajit-5.1.2.dylib is referenced with a complete path in /usr/local/lib/.
I can execute the game if I create a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib/libluajit-5.1.2.dylib to [...]/Contents/Frameworks/libluajit-5.1.2.0.2.dylib
It's my fault, I forgot to change this path when we recently switched from lua to luajit.
In case, if you want to properly fix this before the offical correction, you can change the "id" of the dylib with
$ install_name_tool -id @rpath/libluajit-5.1.2.0.2.dylib libluajit-5.1.2.0.2.dylib
At this point, if you did this on the system library (the one in /usr/local/lib), the dependency path of luajit will be automatically copied from this id when compiling Solarus, but since it is not your case, you also have to change the path directly on the Solarus binary with
$ install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libluajit-5.1.2.dylib @rpath/libluajit-5.1.2.0.2.dylib Solarus
@rpath represent a "special path" that will search first in @executable_path/../Frameworks, then into /Library/Framework if the library is not found, and then some others if I remember correctly.
Hope this helps :)
