CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="ON" means according to the cmake doc, that all rpath-related options given to cmake are ignored. This means that no rpath is set at all - neither at build nor at install time (see http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling) CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="OFF" (or not set) means that the rpath-related options given to cmake are used. When no (other) rpath-options are given, cmakes default is used. This means that cmake adds an rpath during build time (so compiled binaries in the build tree may be called and will work) and removes it at install, so the installed libraries and binaries are without an rpath. > If DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH= is not listed in the configuration does that mean cmake > defaults to DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="ON" or DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="OFF"? > > I have no qualms with using DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="OFF", but we should update the wiki if > tdebase needs to be built that way. I do not know why the wiki proposes to use CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH - maybe the author can explain. There may be reasons, setting the rpath has problems in different scenarios and is not always a good idea. IMHO in most cases it is best to set the rpath at both build and install time and I use CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH to set the install rpath explicitely to the selected install-lib-dir and the install-qt-lib-dir and this works.
