well, the RPATH entry was not designed to be patched, any other string
in an executable could be patched too:
const char* my_builddir_flag = "$$$$_I_M_NOT_INSTALLED_$$$$";
...
if (*my_builddir_flag)
{
... code when not installed
}
else
{
... code for the installed version
}
Just search for that string in the executable and replace the first byte
with a '\0'. Not sure there is a simple tool to do that, but writing one
shouldn't be hard.
Maybe it would even be accepted as an option into cmake.
