Hello Nico,
>I'm co-maintaining the Trilinos package [1] in Debian and recently found a >bunch of new lintian warnings of the kind binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath [2]. >It say in >the description of the warning: Usually lintian is right on such tags :p You can look at src:ettercap, where I have implemented such RPATH nightmare handling in cmake. I would wild guess something like "CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH" is set to TRUE and build logs agrees with me :) -- Trilinos_SET_INSTALL_RPATH='TRUE' -- CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH='TRUE' I'm too lazy to remember why I did the ettercap hack [1], somewhere we want people that build from source to be able to ./binary without having to install it (so the RPATH is needed), so I created a DISABLE_RPATH flag that disables such feature, and added it to the debian/rules file. I remember such USE_LINK_PATH being the culprit of my issue. [1] https://github.com/Ettercap/ettercap/commit/3c72c92cfe5870f47cfc9e1e021dcc26286ac710 HTH Gianfranco
