[gdal-dev] CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX gdalinfo still looks for .dylib in /usr/lib

[Nik Sands]

Hi GDAL devs,

After having just succeeded in getting GDAL to build on macOS using a non-default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, I found that gdalinfo fails because it cannot find gdal.dylib in /usr/lib.  I assume other utilities also fail with the same error, but I didn’t try them.

Sorry I didn’t copy the exact error message, before I rebuilt GDAL as a static library ( BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ), after which of course gdalinfo works fine.

Is it expected that these GDAL utilities (such as gdalinfo) would look for GDAL in /usr/lib instead of the location in which it was actually built?

Cheers,
Nik.
