[ros-users] OpenCV on Snow Leapard

[Brian Gerkey]

hi Daniel,

The documentation suggests that the INSTALL_NAME_DIR property will
cause install_name_tool to be run during installation.  And if you
want to skip the install step (e.g., if you're copying binaries
directly out of the built tree), the BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH property
will do the work during the build.  I haven't used these options much
myself, so I can't promise anything.

	brian.
