Bug ID: 26178
Summary: Can ld add -rpath-relative
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: jolivier23 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
I've found it's nearly impossible to set $ORIGIN in certain scenarios due to
the variable getting interpreted as either a Makefile variable or environment
variable to configure or many other build tools/scenarios.
Could an option be added to ld to set a relative path and let ld write the
$ORIGIN string?
e.g.
ld -rpath-rel='../lib'
would set rpath or runpath to $ORIGIN/../lib
This would make setting origin based rpaths much simpler from build scripts
In our own scripts, I've resorted to patchelf for post build settings to avoid
$ORIGIN purgatory
