libboost seems to have not been bundled in mac app

[ch4ot1c]

To run the .app, users may find they need to first:

• Get homebrew: https://brew.sh
• brew install automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf python qt libevent qrencode

This shouldn't be necessary. The error report in case of failure is:

Same with Linux. I'll make a fresh set of releases using make HOST=... in depends/ instead of global ./autogen && ./configure

[ch4ot1c]

Used the depends system as demonstrated in doc/build-unix.md to attempt to make bundled builds for all platforms, but encountered challenges:

• qt didn't build on windows (no exe in qt dir)
• qt & xml related errors in windows Use WSL with Ubuntu 18 only!
• unix (pc-linux, on ubuntu 18.04) built fine

bitcoin/bitcoin#13594

in other words: the issue is present upstream but nobody seems to care...

Ah - thank you for the info!
