[CMake] RPATH/RUNPATH

[David Cole]

You can use CMake's RPATH related properties to put a path containing
"$ORIGIN" into the final installed executable, and it will work as
long as the underlying OS library loader supports ORIGIN. From what I
understand, ORIGIN support is not uniformly available in all
loaders...

Does that answer your question?
