I am using CMake to build a program on linux. The program compiles successfully and runs from the project build directory. The program is linked with a custom library in the directory ${HOME}/build/lib
I have an install stage with:
install(TARGETS ProgName RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)
When I run make install the program gets put in the correct place, but the cmake installer removes the runtime path from the binary.
-- Install configuration: "Debug"
-- Installing: *binary name*
-- Removed runtime path from "*binary name*"
I have read articles on the internet discussing the misuse of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so I like to keep mine limited to system library locations if possible. I am not sysadmin so I cannot add the location to the default linker search path either.
Does anyone know how I can keep the development-time linking paths when installing or at least customising which paths are added to the runtime?
Cheers
