Bug 135816 – cmake 2.4.2 does not need rpath patch

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan 2006-06-06 13:39:09 UTC]

the rpath patch to disable rpath in cmake is no longer necessary in 2.4, it was fixed somewhere between 2.2 and 2.4, and causes trouble for some build systems to have it disabled by default.  

in 2.4.2 the rpath pointed to the bin

irc log:
<hydrogen> but why...
<aleXXX> RPATH is considered bad by some people
<aleXXX> in previous cmake versions the executables had RPATH poiting to the builddir, which can be a security problem
<hydrogen> ah
<hydrogen> This is fixed in 2.4.2?
<aleXXX> hydrogen: this has been fixed somewhen between 2.2.0 and 2.4.0

cmake 2.4.2

See Bug 131080, Comment #16. Insecure RPATHs produce a QA notice on Gentoo, which is fatal w/ FEATURES="stricter". Sorry.

According to latest comment on the same bug the problem does not exists anymore, on 2.4 series. I have yet to check that but I think this should go to Daniel at least.

Daniel can you take a look to this issue? This has an high priority for KDE4. The quickest of us who can take a look to that if it's still needed will comment here, okay? :)

quite right - patch not needed. will be in cmake-2.4.2-r1 when I fix bug 137918 at the same time.
