Perhaps somebody can give me some hints on this problem I have. I build a project and install it in <path>/install with "make install". Then I do change the installation prefix with cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>/install2 ../root_cmake/ and if I execute again "make install" it rebuilds basically every library of the project. I have traced the dependency to the generated link.txt file, which contains the link command. In one case the contents of the file is:
/usr/bin/c++ -fPIC -pipe -m64 -Wall -W -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -O2 -g -shared -Wl,-soname,libCint.so -o ../../lib/libCint.so CMakeFiles/Cint.dir/src/loadfile.o ../../lib/libCint_static.a -lpthread -Wl,-rpath,:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: and in the other is: /usr/bin/c++ -fPIC -pipe -m64 -Wall -W -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -O2 -g -shared -Wl,-soname,libCint.so -o ../../lib/libCint.so CMakeFiles/Cint.dir/src/loadfile.o ../../lib/libCint_static.a -lpthread -Wl,-rpath,::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Notice the different number of colons in the -rpath settings. The first question I have is what is the origin of these many colons in the rpath settings? The second question, why is different when I choose another installation directory. My CMake variables that control RPATH are the following: first CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH -->/build/mato/ROOT/install/lib CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH -->TRUE CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH -->FALSE CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH -->FALSE and later CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH -->/build/mato/ROOT/install2/lib CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH -->TRUE CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH -->FALSE CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH -->FALSE ------------------------------------------------------------- Pere Mato CERN, PH Department, CH 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland e-mail: pere.m...@cern.ch tel: +41 22 76 78696 fax: +41 22 76 68792 gsm: +41 76 48 70855 _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
