Subject: Re: [CMake] How to install a shared library on a windows system
Stephen,
The catch is that windows searches for the DLL at runtime in specific
locations: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7d83bc18%28VS.80%29.aspx
I see that it searches the directories listed in the PATH variable. How can you
tell CPACK to just always install itself to the PATH variable instead of asking?
You generally don't want to put your install directory in the PATH
environment variable system-wide (or install to c:\windows\system32):
you'll probably either want to a: install a launcher script that appends
to the path at run time (see my other recent mailing list post), or b:
use something like my example so your dll ends up in the same directory
as your exe.
