Re: Add a rpath to an already compiled binary

Show all headers | View raw

also, dynamic linking is a plague and if i am bitter over anything it is the way your mentality regarding linkage has salted the earth with this abomination so thoroughly.
except fixes rpath, i like his style. the rest of you, that sentiment was you can go suck a barrel of eggs.
