MACOSX_RPATH ------------ Whether to use rpaths on Mac OS X. When this property is set to true, the directory portion of the "install_name" field of shared libraries will be ``@rpath`` unless overridden by :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR`. Runtime paths will also be embedded in binaries using this target and can be controlled by the :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_RPATH` target property. This property is initialized by the value of the variable :variable:`CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH` if it is set when a target is created. Policy CMP0042 was introduced to change the default value of MACOSX_RPATH to ON. This is because use of ``@rpath`` is a more flexible and powerful alternative to ``@executable_path`` and ``@loader_path``.
