Description

When a SIL Kit installation is built, the system default is used to name the lib-directory in the install hierarchy. On certain Linux distributions (Alma Linux, for instance) this default lib-directory is lib64 instead of lib. This results in the SIL Kit Demos and Utilities not being able to find libSilKit.so because their RPATH is hard-coded to use lib.

This PR proposes setting these RPATHs to match the naming scheme used when creating the SIL Kit installation (as defined by the GNUInstallDirs CMake module).

Developer checklist (address before review)

  • Changelog.md updated
  • Documentation updated
  • Rebase → commit history clean
  • Squash and merge → proper PR title

Looks good to me and congratulations on your first PR 🥳

Please squash the commits before merging and I think the PR title would also be a good, descriptive commit msg header. Any additional info should be in the msg body.
