Title: No -R flag, how to set runtime search path?
Post by: Clash on September 02, 2009, 11:22:18 pm

Hello!
How do I set the search path for the shared libraries at runtime? I don't want it to look only at /usr/lib
I'm on ubuntu and I can't find the envVar plugin on code::blocks 8.02
Thanks in advance!

You can set any linker parameters in your projects build options (tab "Linker settings -> Other linker options:").
In your case you should try :

Code

-Wl,-rpath=<lib-path>

Also you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable
