How to add a linker command line option into meson

Question

How do we add a linker command line option into meson build system e.g:

If a wanted CL:

-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib

so it must be found correctly every time the release program is executed, how to set the meson configuration ?

.

Answer 1

Either from meson setup or configure (assuming the C linker):

meson setup -Dc_link_args='-Wl,-rpath=...'

OR

meson configure -Dc_link_args='-Wl,-rpath=...'

Or you could set them in the meson build definitions themselves, if that makes more sense (though generally for things like rpath it makes more sense to set them externally).

build_target(
    ...
    link_args : ['-Wl,-rpath=...']
)
