Hi there 👋

ashlar-code's Issues

rpath for libeditor_api.so not set correctly on Linux

Thanks for writing your editor from scratch article and for making and releasing this editor.
I tried out the Linux release currently available (v0.1.0) but when attempting to run it from the bundle dir, as in: ./AshlarCode I get:

so at a guess I think that libeditor_api is trying to dynamically link to libonigmolib but something is going wrong there even though that lib is in the same directory.

Then I noticed:

ldd libeditor_api.so 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff8673c000)
	libonigmolib.so => not found
	libgit2.so.28 => not found
	libssh2.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssh2.so.1 (0x00007f91aee72000)
	libssl.so.1.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007f91aedda000)
	libcrypto.so.1.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007f91aeaff000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f91ae8e4000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f91ae800000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f91ae7e6000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f91ae5be000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007f91ae5a2000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f91aefd5000)

so adding export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. fixes the issue with linker finding libonigmolib, so you might want to pass r path when you are building libeditor_api to avoid this as the ld will not normally look in the cwd for libs.

But of course you are not shipping the version of libgit2 you linked to in your bundle and attempting to use the libgit2 I had installed just seg faults the app.

Since the app is closed source, I stopped debugging at this point.
