CMake won’t and in my opinion shouldn’t implicitly invoke ldconfig for you. There are many scenarios and platforms where this is incorrect behavior and some such as running install to prepare for packaging that CMake wouldn’t reliably be able to detect.
If you want to provide the functionality for your users you could add something like the following to your CMakeLists.txt: install(CODE “execute_process(COMMAND ldconfig)”) This will need to run after your other installed targets. I can’t find any way in the CMake documentation to force install ordering but it seems like as long as CMake processes that install command last it will perform it last. So at the very end of your top level CMakeLists.txt file should do the trick. -- Matt Keeler On June 15, 2016 at 22:12:09, Young Yang (afe.yo...@gmail.com) wrote: Hi, I've encountered some problem when writing install target with cmake. I use `install (TARGETS <my_shared_library> DESTINATION lib)` to install my shared_library. However, when I run `make install`. It just install the .so to /usr/local/lib and didn't run the ldconfig. I think it is strange and inconvenient to tell the user he should run ldconfig by himself or herself. What is the best way to make the ldconfig run automatically?
