How to pass -Wl,--rpath=$ORIGIN/blabla/ to the linker

[oBFusCATed]

Is this currently possible?
From what I've tried I can conclude that it isn't, because CB tries to replace the $ORIGIN with the value of the env var ORIGIN.
Can I disable this just for this case?

Try -Wl,--rpath=$$ORIGIN/blabla/.  I think that worked for me last time (but I am not sure if it currently works).

No, it doesn't work. At least in rev 8888.

Did you read this: http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,16466.msg112453.html#msg112453
and my answer ?

Code Select Expand

-Wl,--rpath=\\$$$ORIGIN/blabla/

Could you try if this works ?

[oBFusCATed]

OK, so double '\' + tripple '$' is the only string that works
Can we make it better?
Anyone care to explain why all those characters are needed?

This gives a little description:

It has to do with macro-replacement and shell escaping.

And as one of the posters there wrote:

Whoever decided to make the token $ORIGIN is an evil bastard who deserves a special place in programmer hell.

That we need to triple the $-sign might be a change in our code.
