'ld: unknown option: -rpath=./libs' - linking error while building openframework addon on mac os 10.7.5

Question

I am quite new to coding and I am trying to build an example project of an openframework addon, called ofxReprojection. When I go:

cd /Users/Macbookpro/Documents/openframeworks/addons/ofxReprojection/example-ofxKinect 

and then

make

I get this error:

ld: unknown option: -rpath=./libs
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [bin/example-ofxKinect] Error 1
make: *** [Release] Error 2
Macbooks-MacBook-Pro:example-ofxKinect Macbookpro$ 

I have Mac OS 10.7.5.

I hope someone can help, for the sake of art :)

Answer 1

Use a , instead of = to pass arguments. Using = is a GNU linker feature. For instance, use -Wl,-rpath,./libs to set RPATH.

From the clang man page:

If option contains commas, it is split into multiple options at the commas. You can use this syntax to pass an argument to the option.

Answer 2

I got similar error while compiling other source code on my Mac. After removing '=' from '-rpath', the compilation error is resolved.
