Hi all, I encountered the following problem when trying to 'make install' a statically linked executable on a ppc64 platform.
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:47 (FILE): file RPATH_CHANGE could not write new RPATH: /tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/install/lib to the file: /tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/install/bin/greetings No valid ELF RPATH or RUNPATH entry exists in the file; I could not reproduce this on a x86_64 platform. It seems that the generated file cmake_install.cmake is the culprit. Diff-ing the file generated on the ppc64 system with that generated on the x86_64 system yields: @@ -37,8 +37,17 @@ ENDIF(NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT OR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}" MATCHES "^(Unspecified)$") IF(NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT OR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}" MATCHES "^(Unspecified)$") - FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin" TYPE EXECUTABLE FILES "/tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeRelink.dir/greetings") IF(EXISTS "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings") + FILE(RPATH_CHECK + FILE "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings" + RPATH "/tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/install/lib") + ENDIF(EXISTS "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings") + FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin" TYPE EXECUTABLE FILES "/tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/build/greetings") + IF(EXISTS "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings") + FILE(RPATH_CHANGE + FILE "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings" + OLD_RPATH "::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::" + NEW_RPATH "/tmp/loose/cmake/cmake-rpath/install/lib") IF(CMAKE_INSTALL_DO_STRIP) EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND "/usr/bin/strip" "$ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/greetings") ENDIF(CMAKE_INSTALL_DO_STRIP) Both cmake 2.6.4 and 2.8.0-rc5 show this behaviour, which looks like a bug to me.
