I have confirmed that the RPATH handling, as documented here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling
Is only accurate for the Linux case and *NOT* for MacOS. Here is the summary of my findings: "Default RPATH": http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling#Default_RPATH_settings link in build: full build path rpath link on install: installed executable will have no rpath Linux: yes - works as documented, must set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for installed executable to find shared lib in non-standard install dir MacOS: no - installed executable rpath is still set to full build rpath, (was supposed to be empty rpath) must set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for installed executable to find shared lib in non-standard install dir "Always Use RPATH": http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling#Always_full_RPATH Linux: yes - works as documented, build executable uses build rpath, installed executable uses installed rpath MacOS: no - installed executable rpath is still set to full build rpath (was supposed to be installed lib rpath) must set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for installed executable to find shared lib in non-standard install dir "No relinking and full RPATH for the install tree": http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling#No_relinking_and_full_RPATH_for_the_install_tree Linux: yes - works as documented; to run executable in build tree, must set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. MacOS: no - executable has no RPATH for build tree, (as expected) although executable finds library in current working directory (build) installed executable *also* has no RPATH; (was supposed to be installed lib rpath) must set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for installed executable to find shared lib in non-standard install dir. otool -L shows no RPATH in both executable cases I would like to get scenario #2 or #3 working on MacOS.
