Pre-submit checks

I checked for similar issues beforehand, but could not find any, not even closed ones. I could not add my bug report to any existing issue.
I am going to take the time to to fill in all the required details. I know that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.

Describe the bug

I'm unable to build AppImageLauncher for Linux on ChromeOS, which runs Debian Bullseye:

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

I followed the instructions exactly as written here (see attached screencapture), i.e.

$ git clone https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher.git -b stable
$ cd AppImageLauncher
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

$ sudo apt install make cmake libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev librsvg2-dev libfuse-dev libarchive-dev libxpm-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-all-dev qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qttools5-dev-tools patchelf libc6-dev libc6-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

$ export PREFIX="/usr/local/"
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PREFIX" -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=true
$ make libappimage libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt

At first, cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PREFIX" -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=true failed because I was missing xxd, which was easily fixed by the following:

$ sudo apt install xxd

Then, make libappimage libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt failed with the following output:

I expected the build to complete.

Steps to reproduce the issue

On ChromeOS, open Terminal and enter the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher.git -b stable
$ cd AppImageLauncher
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

$ sudo apt install make cmake libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev librsvg2-dev libfuse-dev libarchive-dev libxpm-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-all-dev qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qttools5-dev-tools patchelf libc6-dev libc6-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib
$ sudo apt install xxd

$ export PREFIX="/usr/local/"
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PREFIX" -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=true
$ make libappimage libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt

Please build the latest master. I'm still working on a fresh release. The code is considered mostly stable (RC, basically).

Answer 2 · 2024-05-01T04:44:29.000Z

I just gave this another try, but now I'm on Debian 12 Bookworm on ChromeOS:

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Following the instructions, I downloaded and set up the repo, and installed the dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher.git -b stable
$ cd AppImageLauncher
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

$ sudo apt install make cmake libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev librsvg2-dev libfuse-dev libarchive-dev libxpm-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-all-dev qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qttools5-dev-tools patchelf libc6-dev libc6-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

This time, I switched to the 'master' branch before building:

$ git checkout master
$ git log | head
commit 001351622acd8a3c578889429852cd0775454810
Author: Alice Knag <AskAlice@users.noreply.github.com>
Date:   Sat Aug 26 02:51:16 2023 -0600

Then I ran the build commands:

$ export PREFIX="/usr/local/"
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PREFIX" -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=true
$ make libappimage libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt

It succeeded (with warnings, but no errors). Then I ran the install command:

$ sudo make install

However, when I try launching any of the binaries, I get an error:

$ AppImageLauncher
AppImageLauncher: error while loading shared libraries: libappimage.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ ail-cli
ail-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libappimage.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked back at the build output, and I see:

...
[100%] Linking C shared library libappimage.so
[100%] Built target libappimage
...

But looking at the output from sudo make install, I don't see anything mentioning libappimage.so. Did I miss something?
