Bug 2360

Summary: Wrong -rpath setting includes DESTDIR rather that only the libdir
Product: SDL Reporter: Marcus von Appen <mva>
Component: buildAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Priority: P2

Description Marcus von Appen 2014-01-22 21:43:16 UTC 
The LT_LDFLAGS in Makefile.in contain the $(DESTDIR) in -rpath, which instructs libtool to take a wrong path into account for linking.

The issue arises, if DESTDIR is passed at build time and installation time.
-rpath only should use $(libdir) for both SDL 1.2 and SDL 2.x.

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!
