How to include correctly -Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN linker argument in a Makefile? : <p>I'm preparing a c++ app on linux (Ubuntu 16.04) with the use of a few poco libraries which I have dynamically linked. I have project folder that consists of : include, bin, lib , src and build folders and the relevant Makefile. So far  I used  the following Makefile which got the libraries from /usr/local/lib</p>

<pre><code>CC := g++ 

# Folders
SRCDIR := src
BUILDDIR := build
TARGETDIR := bin

# Targets
EXECUTABLE := C++_APP
TARGET := $(TARGETDIR)/$(EXECUTABLE)

SRCEXT := cpp
SOURCES := $(shell find $(SRCDIR) -type f -name *.$(SRCEXT))
OBJECTS := $(patsubst $(SRCDIR)/%,$(BUILDDIR)/%,$(SOURCES:.$(SRCEXT)=.o))
CFLAGS := -c -Wall
INC := -I include -I /usr/local/include
LIB := -L /usr/local/lib -lPocoFoundation -lPocoNet -lPocoUtil 

$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
@echo " Linking..."
@echo " $(CC) $^ -o $(TARGET) $(LIB)"; $(CC) $^ -o $(TARGET) $(LIB)

$(BUILDDIR)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.$(SRCEXT)
@mkdir -p $(BUILDDIR)
@echo " $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -c -o $@ $&lt;"; $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -c -o $@      $&lt;

clean:
@echo " Cleaning..."; 
@echo " $(RM) -r $(BUILDDIR) $(TARGET)"; $(RM) -r $(BUILDDIR) $(TARGET)

.PHONY: clean 
</code></pre>

<p>Now I'd like during running the linker to search for libraries only in project lib folder without changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH or editing ld.so.conf. So I searched and I found that this can be achieved by the linker argument -Wl,rpath,$ORIGIN. So I assume that I need to add the following statement  </p>

<pre><code>LDFLAGS := -Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN/../lib
</code></pre>

<p>and change the the LIB statement as following:</p>

<pre><code>LIB := -L $ORIGIN/../lib -lPocoFoundation -lPocoNet -lPocoUtil 
</code></pre>

<p>However it still get the libraries from the default directory (usr/local/lib) , since I tested it with no library on the project lib folder. What have I done wrong?</p>
