请教gcc的-rpath选项的意思是什么？
http://www.lslnet.com/linux/dosc1/46/linux-318887.htm

可以去掉啊。用-L就行了，这个其实是ld的选项，我做练习时的一个小例子这么编的：
gcc -Wl,-rpath,/home/arc/test,-rpath,/lib/,-rpath,/usr/lib/,-rpath,/usr/local/lib test.c

Might not be true on dynamic linked library.

gcc的-L选项和-Wl,-rpath,的区别是什么？

How to build an RPATH into gcc?

RPATH is evil (BTW if you really want it, set LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib').

Much better:

# echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig
#

And /lib/ld-linux.so.2 will search libraries there.

i believe that in general, the use of -rpath as a linker option is deprecated by most people. it will produce a binary that may do
undesirable things on some systems. its preferred to make the "executable" a shell script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then execs the "real" (binary) executable.
