Re: unable to use $ORIGIN in rpath

[m c]

Thanks for reply.

 

changed MAKETARGET="${MAKETARGET}" to MAKETARGET='${MAKETARGET}'. but still it didnt work.

MAKETARGET='g++   -o ././libSampleSoD.so -shared   -Wl,-Bsymbolic  -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib:.:../lib'  ./obj/debug/sample.o    -ldl -lpthread -lgcc'

g++   -o ././libSampleSoD.so -shared    -Wl,-Bsymbolic  -Wl,-rpath,:/../lib:.:../lib  ./obj/debug/sample.o    -ldl -lpthread -lgcc

i want shell not to expand $ORIGIN. like:

g++   -o ././libSampleSoD.so -shared   -Wl,-Bsymbolic  -Wl,-rpath, '$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib:.:../lib'  ./obj/debug/sample.o    -ldl -lpthread -lgcc

Your setup is extremely complicated, but it boils down to a simple
escaping problem.  Escaping in make has an added twist because both make
and the shell (that make invokes to run commands) use "$" to introduce
variables, so you have to quote for both the shell and for make.

Here is what you have:

       RPATHFLAG := $$ORIGIN:$$ORIGIN/../lib:$(RPATHFLAG)

The := causes this to be evaluated immediately and (assuming RPATHFLAG
is not set) you get RPATHFLAG set to "$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib:"

Next you have this:

       dynamicdebug : MAKETARGET = ${OSCPP} ... $(RPATHFLAG_PREFIX)'$(RPATHFLAG)$(RPATHFLAG_EXTRAS)' ...

Since this using "=", it's not evaluated here and the variable holds the
string as written.

Finally, you have this:

       dynamicdebug ... :
               ...  MAKETARGET="${MAKETARGET}" ... $(MAKE) -f Make.mk
               @echo "$@ version built."

Now make will evaluate this command script, which means expanding
${MAKETARGET} and hence $(RPATHFLAG).  However, since RPATHFLAG was
already expanded once (because of the :=) it's not expanded again, which
means that the command line make passes to the shell (assuming all the
other variables besides RPATHFLAG are empty and MAKE = make) is:

       MAKETARGET="$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib:" make -f Make.mk

Now, the shell will take over and it will see that $ORIGIN is a valid
shell variable and the *shell* will expand it, to the empty string...
and there's your problem right there.

It's not clear what you WANT to happen, so I can't say how you should
fix it.  If you want the MAKETARGET variable to contain the "$ORIGIN"
reference as a literal string, you should use something like:

       dynamicdebug ... :
                       ...  MAKETARGET='${MAKETARGET}' ... $(MAKE) -f Make.mk
                       @echo "$@ version built."

Using single quotes around the variable means the shell won't expand it;
the command the shell sees is:

       MAKETARGET='$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib:' make -f Make.mk
