Hi, Someone recently mentioned on this group a method to affect linking. It was: -Wl,-rpath,$(prefix)/lib I've seen some information about this in the FAQ but perhaps it's late in the day or something but I really don't fully understand what is achieved here and how. If I read the FAQ correctly one would pass this into GCC when compiling one's code so that the resultant user binary resolves its dependencies in the normal way but with the extra help of the directories specified by -rpath. Is that correct? If so does $(prefix) equal the prefix set when GCC itself was compiled with ./configure --prefix=<dir> ? Or perhaps this -Wl option is passed into GCC itself when it is compiled? Is there a page with a fuller explanation of how GCC linking works? Thanks, David.
