From 749b1f1359b5af0a08221923b016551b18ab6171 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reinhard Tartler Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 10:04:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] configure: add --enable-rpath This option facilitates testing shared libarary builds: for instance fate builders do no longer need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the binaries will get the right search paths hardcoded into their executable file. This option is only meant to be used for testing purposes: The installed libraries must not move around in the file system, and doing so will cause a lot of subtle problems. For more information why using RPATH is dangerous, please refer to https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2010/06/the-why-and-how-of-rpath --- configure | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/configure b/configure index 97b60cd291..22b699f9ef 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -86,6 +86,7 @@ Standard options: --shlibdir=DIR install shared libs in DIR [PREFIX/lib] --incdir=DIR install includes in DIR [PREFIX/include] --mandir=DIR install man page in DIR [PREFIX/share/man] + --enable-rpath use rpath when linking programs [USE WITH CARE] Licensing options: --enable-gpl allow use of GPL code, the resulting libs @@ -1596,6 +1597,7 @@ CMDLINE_SELECT=" logging lto optimizations + rpath " PATHS_LIST=" @@ -4293,6 +4295,7 @@ check_disable_warning -Wno-pointer-sign # add some linker flags check_ldflags -Wl,--warn-common check_ldflags -Wl,-rpath-link=libswscale:libavfilter:libavdevice:libavformat:libavcodec:libavutil:libavresample +enabled rpath && add_ldexeflags -Wl,-rpath,$libdir test_ldflags -Wl,-Bsymbolic && append SHFLAGS -Wl,-Bsymbolic # add some strip flags
