Hi,
Last weeks I was fighting with library dependency problems on linux distributions and at the end I came to the conclusion that the only way to guarantee that our own dependencies will be found first than OS versions (which can have problems for us when we choose to distribute a library by our own) is to add library directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the execution.
Now, I added that to zeroconf and thatâs working fine, but now we have the problem of the ânon zeroconfâ distributions.
I checked how to add this and well, turns out that âold wayâ of distributions, from the standard builds of os-vm (we changed it like 5 years ago) already have something like that. The osvm for linux has this structure:
./pharo ./lib ./lib/5.0-201703221605 ./lib/5.0-201703221605/* //All binaries and libraries here ./bin ./bin/pharo
thing is: here ./pharo is an script who mades all we need.
So, instead reinventing the wheel I want to go back to this structure⦠I do not think it will imply anything to anyone, but I wanted to let you know :)
cheers, Esteban
Can you consider this for our startup script... Generalise determination of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in squeak run script https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/15
this is already merged, isnât?
in osvm, yes.
then is already in âmy scriptâ (what I was proposing is to use the osvm script) :)
cool, just checking. Not too long ago it was missing from the Squeak download. cheers -ben btw, I just checked Squeak again and actually its script is now completely different, not setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all.
Last time I downloaded Squeak this hadn't filtered through to their packaging and their startup script bombed on my 32-bit Debian 8 Jessie.
cheers -ben
P.S if time permits, could you also action out this.. Download PharoXXX.sources if its not found in the usual location. https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/79
