Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.48
Severity: normal
Since recently, I'm seeing a lot of binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath [1] errors
from lintinan on Trilinos [2]. It says in the description of the warning:
```
To fix this problem, look for link lines like:
gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib
or
gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib
and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument.
```
Indeed, the Trilinos installation contains many of those lines, but they are
necessary too. When executing the test binaries (which are compiled in the
build tree alongside the libraries), they have to find the linked shared
libraries. Messing with the rpath is necessary.
That's not true later on when the libraries are _installed_, of course. For
this, CMake has the switch CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH [3], which serves exactly
that purpose. For some reason, lintian doesn't seem to be happy with that
though.
Looks like a bug in Lintian? Can you confirm?
