3.4.88 –R ls

Build dynamic library search paths into the executable file.

With this option, the linker, ld(1), stores a list of dynamic library search paths into the executable file.

ls is a colon–separated list of directories for library search paths. The blank between -R and ls is optional.

Multiple instances of this option are concatenated together, with each list separated by a colon.

The list is used at runtime by the runtime linker, ld.so. At runtime, dynamic libraries in the listed paths are scanned to satisfy any unresolved references.

Use this option to let users run shippable executables without a special path option to find needed dynamic libraries.

Building an executable file using -Rpaths adds directory paths to a default path, /opt/SUNWspro/lib, that is always searched last.
