I think I've finally figured out why I didn't get the results the cmake
documentation suggested I should be getting... It's the extra-cmake-modules
that I use, Krita being a KDE application. With these settings:
set(KDE_SKIP_RPATH_SETTINGS 1)
set(CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH 1)
set(BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH 1)
My libraries are built with an @rpath id, instead of an absolute path id. Now
only the executable needs to have its rpath set correctly after install and
after making a bundle, and all libraries are found and all plugins find the
libraries, too.
Without KDE_SKIP_RPATH_SETTINGS, everything gets set to full, absolute paths on
doing a make install. That might make sense on Linux, I guess... But no wonder
that I was confused all the time.
So, to check that I really understand it:
On OSX, every library has an id. That id can be
/abs/o/lute/path/to/library.dylib or library.dylib or @rpath/library.dylib.
The exectutable has a bunch of paths where it can look for libraries, and the
path + library.dylib has to match the library id.
so, if the executable has
@path = ../lib;../Frameworks
and links to
@path/library.dylib
and a library with that id is in ../lib (or ../Frameworks) from the
executable's location, everything will be fine.
Which makes it easiest for me, I guess to have @rpath in the id for every
library, and on make install set the exectables' rpath to where I install the
libraries to, and on creating the bundle update the rpaths in the executable to
the Frameworks folder. The only thing that won't work is running unittests
without installing, but that's not a big problem, for me...
