Cannot execute Hello World on macOS with prefer-dynamic

[kenorb]

I've installed Rust compiler via brew install rust and I have the following Hello World program:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello World!");
}

I've compiled it via: rustc -Cprefer-dynamic hello.rs for a smaller size.

However I've got the following error when executing it:

$ ./hello 
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libstd-99517fd8418575af.dylib
  Referenced from: mydir/./hello
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

Here is the output from otool:

$ otool -L hello
hello:
	@rpath/libstd-99517fd8418575af.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libresolv.9.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

What I am missing?

If you use dynamic linking, you need to tell the dynamic linker where to find the dynamic libraries if they are not installed globally on the system. On macOS this would be using the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env var, on other Unixes the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var and on Windows the PATH env var.
