Hi, I'm building a program that links against boost with libtool.
The boost library is installed on the system and is a shared library. When i run my program ./test_suite I get, $ ./test_suite .../build/.libs/lt-test_suite: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My Makefile looks like, noinst_PROGRAMS += test_suite test_suite_SOURCES = \ src/progs/test_suite/fixture.cpp \ src/progs/test_suite/main.cpp test_suite_CPPFLAGS = \ @BOOST_CPPFLAGS@ test_suite_LDFLAGS = \ @BOOST_LDFLAGS@ test_suite_LDADD = \ @BOOST_LIBS@ Where the boost variables are, BOOST_CPPFLAGS = -IBOOSTDIR/boost_1_53_0_prefix/include BOOST_LDFLAGS = -LBOOSTDIR/boost_1_53_0_prefix/lib BOOST_LIBS = -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system I have a few questions. For linking against system libraries, is using LDFLAGS and LDADD appropriate the way I have done it? Is it my responsibility to add the -rpath libtool option to include BOOSTDIR/boost_1_53_0_prefix/lib? Should I be setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running from the build directory? I notice that when I link against libtool created libraries in the same Makefile I don't see this issue at all.
