Setup different path for fish shell temporally

Question

User libraries are normally in /usr/local/lib. However I want to build some third party libraries in for example /Users/user/Public/lib.

I only want to do it during my testing. Is there a elegant way to do this?

I'm using fish shell for OSX.

Answer 1

Assuming the library path is selected using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, you could do

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/user/Public/lib fish
