Notes about linking on various platforms:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Sun, Windows:

Linking to libraries using the full path works fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On AIX, more work is needed.

  The "-bnoipath" option is needed.  From "man ld":

    Note: If you specify a shared object, or an archive file
    containing a shared object, with an absolute or relative path
    name, instead of with the -lName flag, the path name is
    included in the import file ID string in the loader section of
    the output file. You can override this behavior with the
    -bnoipath option.

      noipath

        For shared objects listed on the command-line, rather than
        specified with the -l flag, use a null path component when
        listing the shared object in the loader section of the
        output file. A null path component is always used for
        shared objects specified with the -l flag. This option
        does not affect the specification of a path component by
        using a line beginning with #! in an import file. The
        default is the ipath option.

  This prevents the full path specified on the compile line from being
  compiled directly into the binary.

  By default the linker places -L paths in the embedded runtime path.
  In order to implement CMake's RPATH interface correctly, we need the
  -blibpath:Path option.  From "man ld":

      libpath:Path

        Uses Path as the library path when writing the loader section
        of the output file. Path is neither checked for validity nor
        used when searching for libraries specified by the -l flag.
        Path overrides any library paths generated when the -L flag is
        used.

        If you do not specify any -L flags, or if you specify the
        nolibpath option, the default library path information is
        written in the loader section of the output file. The default
        library path information is the value of the LIBPATH
        environment variable if it is defined, and /usr/lib:/lib,
        otherwise.

  We can pass -Wl,-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib always to avoid the -L stuff
  and not break when the user sets LIBPATH.  Then if we want to add an
  rpath we insert it into the option before /usr/lib.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On HP-UX, more work is needed.  There are differences between
versions.

ld: 92453-07 linker linker ld B.10.33 990520

  Linking with a full path works okay for static and shared libraries.
  The linker seems to always put the full path to where the library
  was found in the binary whether using a full path or -lfoo syntax.
  Transitive link dependencies work just fine due to the full paths.

  It has the "-l:libfoo.sl" option.  The +nodefaultrpath is accepted
  but not documented and does not seem to do anything.  There is no
  +forceload option.

ld: 92453-07 linker ld HP Itanium(R) B.12.41  IPF/IPF

  Linking with a full path works okay for static libraries.

  Linking with a full path works okay for shared libraries.  However
  dependent (transitive) libraries of those linked directly must be
  either found with an rpath stored in the direct dependencies or
  found in -L paths as if they were specified with "-l:libfoo.sl"
  (really "-l:<soname>").  The search matches that of the dynamic
  loader but only with -L paths.  In other words, if we have an
  executable that links to shared library bar which links to shared
  library foo, the link line for the exe must contain

    /dir/with/bar/libbar.sl -L/dir/with/foo

  It does not matter whether the exe wants to link to foo directly or
  whether /dir/with/foo/libfoo.sl is listed.  The -L path must still
  be present.  It should match the runtime path computed for the
  executable taking all directly and transitively linked libraries
  into account.

  The "+nodefaultrpath" option should be used to avoid getting -L
  paths in the rpath unless we add our own rpath with +b.  This means
  that skip-build-rpath should use this option.

  See documentation in "man ld", "man dld.so", and
  http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90968/creatingandusinglibraries.htm

    +[no]defaultrpath
      +defaultrpath is the default.  Include any paths that are
      specified with -L in the embedded path, unless you specify the
      +b option.  If you use +b, only the path list specified by +b is
      in the embedded path.

      The +nodefaultrpath option removes all library paths that were
      specified with the -L option from the embedded path.  The linker
      searches the library paths specified by the -L option at link
      time.  At run time, the only library paths searched are those
      specified by the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
      SHLIB_PATH, library paths specified by the +b linker option, and
      finally the default library paths.

    +rpathfirst
      This option will cause the paths specified in RPATH (embedded
      path) to be used before the paths specified in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      or SHLIB_PATH, in searching for shared libraries.  This changes
      the default search order of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB_PATH, and
      RPATH (embedded path).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes about dependent (transitive) shared libraries:

On non-Windows systems shared libraries may have transitive
dependencies.  In order to support LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES we must
support linking to a shared library without listing all the libraries
to which it links.  Some linkers want to be able to find the
transitive dependencies (dependent libraries) of shared libraries
listed on the command line.

  - On Windows, DLLs are not directly linked, and the import libraries
    have no transitive dependencies.

  - On Mac OS X 10.5 and above transitive dependencies are not needed.

  - On Mac OS X 10.4 and below we need to actually list the dependencies.
    Otherwise when using -isysroot for universal binaries it cannot
    find the dependent libraries.  Listing them on the command line
    tells the linker where to find them, but unfortunately also links
    the library.

  - On HP-UX, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
    shared libraries in the -L paths even if the dependent libraries
    are given on the link line.

  - On AIX the transitive dependencies are not needed.

  - On SGI, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
    shared libraries in the -L paths if they are not given on the link
    line.  Transitive linking can be disabled using the options

      -no_transitive_link -Wl,-no_transitive_link

    which disable it.  Both options must be given when invoking the
    linker through the compiler.

  - On Sun, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
    shared libraries in the -L paths if they are not given on the link
    line.

  - On Linux, FreeBSD, and QNX:

    The linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of shared
    libraries in the "-rpath-link" paths option if they have not been
    given on the link line.  The option is like rpath but just for
    link time:

      -Wl,-rpath-link,"/path1:/path2"

For -rpath-link, we need a separate runtime path ordering pass
including just the dependent libraries that are not linked.

For -L paths on non-HP, we can do the same thing as with rpath-link
but put the results in -L paths.  The paths should be listed at the
end to avoid conflicting with user search paths (?).

For -L paths on HP, we should do a runtime path ordering pass with
all libraries, both linked and non-linked.  Even dependent
libraries that are also linked need to be listed in -L paths.

In our implementation we add all dependent libraries to the runtime
path computation.  Then the auto-generated RPATH will find everything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes about shared libraries with not builtin soname:

Some UNIX shared libraries may be created with no builtin soname.  On
some platforms such libraries cannot be linked using the path to their
location because the linker will copy the path into the field used to
find the library at runtime.

  Apple:    ../libfoo.dylib  ==>  libfoo.dylib  # ok, uses install_name
  SGI:      ../libfoo.so     ==>  libfoo.so     # ok
  AIX:      ../libfoo.so     ==>  libfoo.so     # ok
  Linux:    ../libfoo.so     ==>  ../libfoo.so  # bad
  HP-UX:    ../libfoo.so     ==>  ../libfoo.so  # bad
  Sun:      ../libfoo.so     ==>  ../libfoo.so  # bad
  FreeBSD:  ../libfoo.so     ==>  ../libfoo.so  # bad

In order to link these libraries we need to use the old-style split
into -L.. and -lfoo options.  This should be fairly safe because most
problems with -lfoo options were related to selecting shared libraries
instead of static but in this case we want the shared lib.  Link
directory ordering needs to be done to make sure these shared
libraries are found first.  There should be very few restrictions
because this need be done only for shared libraries without soname-s.
