Cannot find library even when included in the staging packages

I am getting the error

/snap/rolisteam/x1/usr/local/bin/rolisteam: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecommon-11.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but have included libpulse0 in with the staging packages.

And there does not seem to be any errors while building:

So any idea why it cannot find the library ?

TIA

see this post:

Pygame.error: Mixer not initialized

I’d recommend trying to use pulseaudio rather than alsa if that’s supported by pygame. You’ll need to add libpulse0 to stage-packages and the following environment to your apps. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH stuff is needed because the pulseaudio libs live in a directory that’s not initially found, but adding this will fix that. apps: outbreak: command: bin/outbreak environment: "LD_LIBRARY_PATH": "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SNAP/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/pulseaudio"

[veritanuda]

I can see that the library is included in the stage area, just as you say under /stage/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio my question is why is it not picked up automatically? Why do I have have to put in a work around when it should automatically be added to the LD path?

I am sure your fix will work, and thanks for that, but should it be necessary ?

@veritanuda

I am sure your fix will work, and thanks for that, but should it be necessary ?

it probably should not, but it currently is … only the well known paths (/lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib … etc) are in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in snaps, subdirs need to be manually added atm … this is also true for mesa drivers and other libs that store their shared objects in subdirs.

[veritanuda]

That makes me consider how they are preparing the sandbox for the build then. For sure when you build applications normally you will build against the dev package but the built library will always be in the same place.

Just seems a bit of a hack to me.

[ogra]

one problem is that snaps allow you to cross-build for a different target arch … to make this work on a non-native host you can only unpack the stage-packages but not run their postinst scripts (which might call native binaries of the target arch) … typically the adding of the additional linker path is done by putting a ld.so.conf snippet in place and calling ldconfig from a postinst debhelper snippet … but ldconfig is specific to the target arch so you cant exec it easily (that would require bigger and more complicated hacks to the build system).

based on the above, the adding of the search paths to the env variables of your app (or alternatively simply moving the libs all into the known search paths during snap build) is the less evil hack in the end

also note that many snaps do not really use stage-packages but build all their dependencies from source, so you can also not just generalize the fact that “everything runs a postinst script. lets just make that work” since you would need to special case all teh different setups.

[veritanuda]

Yeah… well that as may be, but I did not have the same headache with flatpaks put it that way. But the problem now is I need to add more than 1 search path as it also needs

$SNAP/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/qt5/plugins

So the build file is starting to look a little ridiculous.

And that is not to say I might need to add qt5/qml as well?

All in all not particularly well documented in the build guides is it ?

EDIT.

So this is not going well either.

Now I am getting this error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "".

But it is searching the plugins dir now.

Far as I can tell this is all I can do to try and tell it where to look for what it is searching for.
