I believe the -rpath mechanism worked under our ABS for build-tree tests under Cygwin with shared libraries. So we may be up against a bug in our PLplot CBS, a bug in the CMake generator that Werner used on Cygwin, or a bug in CMake itself for the Cygwin platform. So, Werner, what generator did you use for your Cygwin experiment? I believe there is a simple one that Arjen likes that works well on the command line. Is that the one you used? Arjen, you may want to try your favorite cmake generator as well on Cygwin to see if the problem persists. If experiments with a variety of generators are unsuccessful, then to help sort out what is really going on I suggest you implement a simple "hello-world" style CMake example with the shared library built in one subdirectory and an example built in another subdirectory that calls that library with the appropriate cmake commands to set up ctest for that example. (One of the nice advantages of CMake is it usually only takes a few minutes to set up simple test cases like this.) If you can get that simple test case to work on Cygwin with any generator, but that same generator does not work for our CBS, then obviously we need to improve our CBS. If the simple example does not work under any circumstances, then it should be straightforward to make it part of the bug report to the CMake developers so they can easily replicate the problem for themselves.
