[csw-maintainers] Runtime linker pathes in GAR

[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

James is currently in the tedious task of reviewing all
runtime linker pathes from the packages. To make it
easier for you as maintainer I have a summary here how
this works in GAR and how to fix things.

Runtime pathes can be checked with
   /usr/ccs/bin/dump -Lv <binary> | <library>

A correct setting with ISALIST should look like
[7]     RUNPATH         /opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST:/opt/csw/lib
[8]     RPATH           /opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST:/opt/csw/lib

A correct setting without ISALIST should look like
[7]     RUNPATH         /opt/csw/lib
[8]     RPATH           /opt/csw/lib

GAR adds a runtime path with $ISALIST by default. To skip this
entirely in GAR you can use
   NOISALIST = 1
How much shell escaping is necessary depends on if the application
uses autoconf and/or libtool. The quoting-level can be reduced with
   RUNPATHQUOTE = 1
(quote for one expansion, e. g. only configure) as opposed to the  
default
   RUNPATHQUOTE = 2
(quote for double expansion, configure and libtool).


Best regards
