[cmake-developers] Setting INSTALL_RPATH no longer works when I start using a custom toolchain file.

[Stanislav Pankevich]

I have received an answer on StackOverflow:

> Instead of linking to the existed project, please, create Minimal,
Complete, and Verifiable example <http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve>. As
far as I understand, toolchain file can be compressed to two lines (setting
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variables). The project could also
be compressed to 10-20 lines, where one needn't to search through 100
lines, whether value for *INSTALL_RPATH* is absolute or relative path.
Setting variable *CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME* always means *cross-compiling*. Do you
perform "fake" cross-compiling, when your *host* is the same as value for
*CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME*?

My problem was that I was basing my toolchain file on some example I found
on the internet and it contained:

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Darwin)

After I had removed this line everything started working perfectly without
any tweaks on *RPATH* variables as it had worked before I introduced a
custom toolchain file.

Thanks for attention.
