* cmake: use CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH Spack has a heuristic to add rpaths for packages it knows are required, but it's really a heuristic, and it does not work when the dependencies put their libraries in a different folder than `<prefix>/lib{64,}`. CMake patches binaries after install with the "install rpaths", which by default are provided by Spack and its heuristic through `CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`. CMake however knows better what libraries are effectively being linked to, and has an option to include those in the install rpath too, through `CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH`. These two CMake options are complementary, repeated rpaths seem to be filtered, and the "use link path" paths are appended to Spack's heuristic "install rpath". So, it seems like a good idea to enable "use link path" by default, so that: - `dlopen` by library name uses Spack's heuristic search paths - linked libraries in non-standard locations within a prefix get an rpath thanks to CMake. * docs |
