Hi list, This is a follow-up of my problem I discussed with myself on the cmake-mailing list: "CLANG vs GCC when linking executables".
I found the root-cause of this problem: When constructing the rpath-arguments cmake is using an cmOrderDirectories called OrderLinkerSearchPath to which all the runtime-libraries via AddRuntimeLibrary() have been added. In AddRuntimeLibrary() it checks whether the library-path is an implicit directory. To this list somewhere the lib/-path located next to the compiler-bin/-path has been added. This works well if the compiler is installed in /usr/bin because /usr/lib is present in the system's loader-configuration. In my case I have locally built a compiler and in the lib/-dir next to the bin/-dir I installed other libraries. When now linking with one of them (via an IMPORTED library), cmake does not add the rpath because it assumes lib/ is implicitly used by the loader (or something else?). What can I do? Is this a bug in cmake or in my setup? Why is this path considered implicit? best regards, -- Patrick. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
