Hi,

it would be nice if there were a way to emulate rpath under Windows. As far as I can see there are two possible approaches:
- Generate a shell script which sets PATH
- Generate a manifest for the application and a manifest for the dependencies. http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/30019971/ has an example of how to do it.

To generate either the script or the manifest, all paths to the all required libraries need to be queried for an executable target. Then those paths could be put into the script/manifest with e.g. coonfigure_file. Those paths correspond to those used to set the rpath.

I suppose it might be slightly more complex given that the import library that is being linked to and the DLL that corresponds to the import library might not be in the same location (and cmake might know the location of the one but not always the location of the the other).

This functionality has been suggested in this issue: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=10449 The issue has been suspended with a comment that this idea, needs more discussion on the mailing list first.

Brad probably meant the developer's rather than the user's mailing list. (I am sending this reply to both)
