[postgis-devel] [geos-devel] MacOS DYLD Fix

[Regina Obe]

This isn’t an issue with other projects besides PostGIS that use GEOS?

Perhaps related, how much trouble would it be to get PostGIS to use pkgconfig for GEOS.  I see that GEOS does ship pkgconfig files.

 

It’s always annoying when I try to do it that I have to explicitly specify the geos-config file in PostGIS when in other cases, we can read the pkg-config and have in fact standardized on that for other dependencies we use.

 

I’ve added PostGIS dev to this since well we seem to be talking about PostGIS now.

I’m on both sides of the argument now. The best/better practice might be to leave the install behaviour as-is and try to coerce PostGIS into ensuring the LD_RPATH on postgis.so, and other targets is set to the discovered locations of the dylib files in the ./configure.

I’ll hold off on releasing until there is consensus on this issue.

>From XCode 15, the dyld linker no longer falls back to /usr/local/lib when resolving an @rpath, so installing libraries in /usr/local/lib and hoping that the linker finds them there is no longer workable. They need to be installed with LC_ID_DYLIB set to the install location, which in cmake world means installing them after setting the INSTALL_NAME_DIR property on the target.

I have committed this into main, and would like to pull it back a few stable braches too, since I need it to effectively work on postgis/geos on my Macbook, but I am going to hold off on the stable branches for a while, if anyone working on main finds that this change has broken something in *their* environment, please let me know.
