How to get RPATH with $ORIGIN to work on Code::Blocks GCC?

Question

I\'m trying to link an RPATH containing the special string $ORIGIN into an executable built using GCC with the Code::Blocks IDE. I\'ve specified

-Wl,-R$ORIGI         


        

Answer 1

In addition to kblucks answer that addresses the question for Code:Blocks.... For those like me who stumbled across this page looking for how to do this with Make. The trick is to use an extra $ sign as an escape character and to enclose it with quotes:

-Wl,-R,'$$ORIGIN/../lib'
