I don't have access to Cygwin myself, but I have recently been getting
PLplot feedback from one of our developers and also two of our more

ignored both in the build tree (where CMake automatically takes care of
the
complicated rpath concerns for my Linux platform), and the build tree
(where
for PLplot we use the INSTALL_RPATH PROPERTY of SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES to
set
rpath).
Being able to set rpath for both the build tree and install tree is
incredibly convenient for the Linux CMake version. Is there some
technical
reason why this killer feature is missing from the Cygwin CMake version or
is this just currently an unimplemented feature for the Cygwin CMake
version?
There is no such thing as RPATH on windows or cygwin. Basically on
windows/cygwin you have to have the shared libraries or dll's in the same
directory as the executables. The only RPATH of sorts on windows is that "."
is in the PATH. Other than that, users have to put directories with dll's in
the PATH explicitly.
Thanks, Bill, for that information. I didn't realize Cygwin shared that
lack of RPATH limitation with windows. UGH.
