# Suppose under certain circumstances you want to set the library path explicitly to something, but | |
# in the usual case, you would like it to remain as an rpath. | |
# This adds a variable to the install script that can be overridden | |
install(CODE " | |
if(NOT DEFINED CUSTOM_LIBRARY_PREFIX) | |
set(CUSTOM_LIBRARY_PREFIX \"@rpath\") | |
endif() | |
") | |
set_property(TARGET my_target PROPERTY INSTALL_NAME_DIR "\${CUSTOM_LIBRARY_PREFIX}") | |
# Now when install is run, it keeps the same behaviour as before (setting the path to @rpath/my_target.dylb) | |
# But suppose you manually invoke the install script like: | |
cmake -DCUSTOM_LIBRARY_PREFIX=/my/custom/path -P cmake_install.cmake | |
# Then now the library path will be /my/custom/path/my_target.dylib instead of @rpath/my_target.dylib |
