BUG: inventor-2.1.5 dylibs lack install_names

[bhu@…]

The shared libraries (libInventor.dylib and libInventorXt.dylib) are not given "install_name" when linked. The consequence is that we need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to use the executables that are linked against the libraries. Adding the "install_name" option to the linker's command line should solve the problem.

would you mind at least mentioning the name of the port in the summary? ;)

[cssdev@…]

Use of a library load path environment variable is considered official practice for SGI Open Inventor. However, the enhancement would certainly be useful. (I could probably also check about contributing it upstream.) Any use of install_name should use ${prefix} to properly work with DarwinPorts installations placed into other locations. I'll have to check, but it might be best to use IVPREFIX to pick up the install location from make/ivcommondefs.

Make the list of bugs easier to scan.

[cssdev]

Reassign to maintainer.

[cssdev]

Modified summary to match the port name and the specific issue.

[cssdev]

It should be feasible to use -install_name $(IVPREFIX)/$(LIBDSO) in each GNUmakefile.

[cssdev]

r44643 adds -install_name $(IVPREFIX)/lib/$(LIBDSO) when linking each library.
