These are issues that were raised in #19370:
On OSX10.11 the Sage installation is not functional when moved to a
different folder - `sage` must be executed in the original build-folder
since many libraries have their complete path compiled in. The following
changes seem therefore necessary:
1) "sage --bdist" should build sage in the directory
"/Application/SageMath?-$Version-..." and sage will only run in this
directory.
2) The README in the resulting app should be updated to say that the
Sage icon should be dragged into the Application folder. Alternatively, we
should implement an installer.
3) sage should print a warning "This copy of sage can only be run in
dirctory /Application/Sage?..." and exit.
