Yes, in kdelibs/ cmake compiles with RPATH set. I guess you remember the 
discussion a few weeks ago, but this linking stuff was too advanced for me, 
so I just went for the simple solution.

Currently in kdelibs/ the libraries are created in <builddir>/lib/ . I don't 
know how it works under OS X and Windows. Maybe it would already work on 
these systems if simply the binaries and libraries would be created in the 
same output directory, e.g. <builddir>/bin/ (I think at least on windows this 
would work).
Is it possible on Linux/BSD/etc. to tell the linker always to look also in the 
directory where the binary is located ?

Other than that, would it be acceptable to require that 
<kdelibs-builddir>/bin/ has to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH when compiling 
kdelibs/ ?

Bye
