Observed issue
==============

Certain tool chains[1, 2] emit warnings or errors when building the
example applications.

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

=== Reproducer ===

The easiest way to consistently reproduce this type of build failure
is to perform the following steps:

```
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
find . -iname '*.so' -exec chrpath -d {} \;
make -C doc/examples clean
make -j$(nproc)
```

As the examples are not built with libtool, finding the libraries to
link against depends on the shared objects having an rpath.

E.g.

```
$ chrpath src/lib/lttng-ust/.libs/liblttng-ust.so.1.0.0
src/lib/lttng-ust/.libs/liblttng-ust.so.1.0.0: RUNPATH=/home/xxx/src/efficios/lttng/master/src/lttng-ust/src/lib/lttng-ust-common/.libs:/home/xxx/src/efficios/lttng/master/src/lttng-ust/src/lib/lttng-ust-tracepoint/.libs:/home/xxx/src/efficios/lttng/master/usr/lib
```

The current examples build with `-Wl,-rpath`  for `liblttng-ust`, but
not the dependencies of `liblttng-ust` (which would normally be found
via it's own rpath). If the `rpath` is stripped from
`liblttng-ust.so`, or if the tool chain ignores `rpath` explicitly,
then the build with fail.

In the case of a yocto build environment as in GitHub#61[1], the
following commands reproduced the warnings and the errors seen in the
above test case.

```
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky && cd poky/
. oe-init-build-env
echo "PACKAGECONFIG:pn-lttng-ust = 'examples'" >>conf/local.conf
bitbake lttng-ust
```

=== Solution ===

Explicitly add library search paths and set linker rpath-link are set
for both the standard and cmake examples. Similar changes were
proposed for each of those parts respectively in GitHub#61[1] and GitHub#63[2].

=== Known issues ===

While the `rpath-link` for the second order library dependencies will
allow the builds to complete, the examples will not work at
runtime even when using `rpath`. From `man ld.so`, the rpaths in an
executable or shared object are only considered for direct
dependencies. Therefore, without setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` or
installing the libraries test applications will fail as follows:

```
$ ./doc/examples/easy-ust/sample
./doc/examples/easy-ust/sample: error while loading shared libraries: liblttng-ust-common.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
