[Question]How to solve rpath-link problem?

[Tumb1eweed]

Except for virtualrunenv, it's just not so convenient...How can I only use CMake to control path-link problem? Can I acquire dependencies's libdir in CMake using Conan-cmake?

Hi @Tumb1eweed, Thanks for the question, could you provide a bit more information of your issue maybe with a reproducible case? Regarding your question about if you can acquire dependencies's libdir in CMake using Conan-cmake? That's not the purpouse of cmake-conan, It is just a wrapper to get conan settings from CMake and call conan install.

Hey, can cmake-conan support setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH during cmake procudure? That would be very much helpful so we can leave rpath behind.

Hi, I'm having the same question. For example I want to link toolA that is compiled into shared lib, so as it written in official conan guideline we should firstly install using conan install and before executing build we must source activate.sh file.

So it very hard to maintain such pipeline when adding source commands to cmake. Is it possible to somehow omit this and use environment variables provided by conan?
