The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15868 ====================================================================== Reported By: Lucas Christian Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15868 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-11-30 22:58 EST Last Modified: 2015-11-30 22:58 EST ====================================================================== Summary: Property INSTALL_NAME_DIR is completely ignored Description: CMake ignores the INSTALL_NAME_DIR property unless the following properties are set: - BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH is TRUE - SKIP_RPATH is FALSE - SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH is FALSE
In some cases, users may wish to use INSTALL_NAME_DIR without having any intention of using any path-related features. For example, I may want my executables to link to libraries encoding the absolute path "/usr/local/lib" in the executable for each library. This has nothing to do with rpath. In both the build tree and install destination, the emitted library name is "@rpath/mylib.dylib" despite explicitly setting INSTALL_NAME_DIR otherwise. Enabling BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH does cause the correct path to be emitted, but this requirement is not obvious, and likely unintentional. Steps to Reproduce: Produce a simple CMake file that builds an executable against a shared library. Set these to install into /usr/local root. Include set(CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR "/usr/local/lib") Additional Information: Cursory examination of the CMake source code suggests this issue may be rooted in "cmGeneratorTarget.cxx", likely the code for generating install_path is getting short-circuited by some additional checks on the rpath* properties. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-11-30 22:58 Lucas ChristianNew Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
