Does anybody know what the Problem in this MWE is.

Hi @gabyx, Please check Conan docs about this:

• https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/howtos/manage_shared_libraries/rpaths.html
• https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/howtos/manage_shared_libraries/env_vars.html Conan will not add absolute paths by default but you can later use a VirtualRunEnv generator to set PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc... So in your example, just adding that generator:

conan_cmake_configure(REQUIRES fmt/6.1.2 
                      OPTIONS fmt:shared=True
                      GENERATORS cmake_find_package VirtualRunEnv)

And after building activating that environment: source conanrun.sh Should be enough.

Hope this helps

Thanks! That helps. However, its still kind of hard to find a good way to make a cmake install selfcontaining and rellocatable on all platforms, and also having a cmake build where targets run without any problem... favoring a solution which works for both problems...
