Correction: for chrpath to work, the binaries (executables or libraries) must already have a RPATH or RUNPATH entry. So using chrpath doesn't make sense until you want to change those paths. But if you use $ORIGIN, you don't need to adapt the paths at all. If you wanted to load libraries from "[install]/lib" while your executable is in "[install]/bin", you'd link with: -Wl,-rpath=\$ORIGIN/../lib,--enable-new-dtags This will result in libraries getting loaded from "../lib" relative to your executable, regardless on where that executable is installed on the system. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
