Use DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH for dylib_path_envvar on macOS
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When loading and linking a dynamic library or bundle, dlopen
searches in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, PWD, and
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.
In the Mach-O format, a dynamic library has an "install path."
Clients linking against the library record this path, and the
dynamic linker, dyld, uses it to locate the library.
dyld searches DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH *before* the install path.
dyld searches DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH only if it cannot
find the library in the install path.
Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can easily have unintended
consequences.
