Was libthai.so.0 ever added to the appimage? |
|
No... PR welcome |

Hi @catthou , I'm in the process of fixing another issue in the AppImage. |
|
@gschintgen I can test launching the app, but I can only test streaming in limited capacity due to a weird bug where the image it sends is blank (since 0.20, tested all flatpak versions and gentoo native compile) but mouse movement, hotkeys etc work. Never gotten the appimage to work for above missing library. In the 0.30 AppImage this is the current missing library error: I'm willing to help and test where I can though, AppImages are my prefered package format for basic desktop apps! |
|
There are multiple things to unpack here:
I suppose your Gentoo system is tailored to your exact needs, i.e without any unneeded dependencies and such? (I used it too, a very long time ago.) In theory flatpaks should be better suited, since they have more extensive runtime environments. Anyway, I don't think adding the missing libraries to the AppImage will fix the more general issue of the blank screen. It might still be helpful for other users. That will be up to the maintainer to decide. |
|
For my environment, I do indeed keep my system as stripped down as possible. For 1 & 2. Yes, this is a separate issue that I've been trying to debug when I have the free time :) I've been using the flatpak since I filed this bug report, until the display issue.
Before cleaning: After, I'm back to OP: Full extract log as requested: |
|
Ah, oops, I didn't remember that the extraction step prints all the filenames. I was more interested in the libraries part. Anyway, I suppose that Most of them should probably be present on any standard desktop distribution, but I can't say for sure. It seems reasonable to me to add the Thai libraries even if it's "only" to support more specialized setups, such as your non-Thai Gentoo. |
|
Strangely, I noticed: but it doesn't show up as needed [without libthai], so I wonder why it's included already? Anyways, happy to try out an AppImage when you've got one you think works! |

Interesting. |
That is correct. See here for an example: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/actions/runs/8715646383/job/23907897841#step:10:471 |

Looks like libthai is intentionally excluded... AppImageCommunity/pkg2appimage#538 There are many related issues:
Most of these suggest to install this library yourself. And... as I have done more reading on this topic, it seems that AppImages are not really meant to be 100% self contained apps, like Flatpak. AppImage seems to make many assumptions about the environment where the AppImage is running. |
