My C++ executable depends on boost regex which i have imported explicitly. However, during link phase, CMake doesnt use -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/my/boost/lib
to embed the rpath in my project executable.
How can i acheive that? It does embed rpath to libutils.so, which I also build in my CMakeLists.txt. I am using cmake version 3.9
add_library(boost_regex SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL)
set_target_properties(boost_regex PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION ${Boost_REGEX_LIBRARY})
add_library(utils SHARED utils.cpp)
target_link_libraries(utils INTERFACE boost_regex)
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main utils)
