Nico Weber 6ab81c32be CMake: set CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH everywhere
Else, there's tons of "-- Set runtime path of" spam at build time,
with apparently no way of disabling the build noise other than turning
of rpaths. If the dynamic loader uses them at some point, we probably
want to set them through cflags/ldflags instead of through cmake's
built-in thing anyways, for that reason.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
