Does not build on Debian Bullseye
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Describe the bug
The script linux/appimage/build.sh
has the following line:
run cp -a "$pyprefix/lib/$pyldlib"* "$pyprefix/lib/$pypy3lib" "$pydist/lib/"
This will fail on Debian Bullseye (10), because the python3 binary does not link to libpython*.so. That is, the copy command fails because the files being copied don't exist, and are not needed. This can be fixed:
run cp -a "$pyprefix/lib/$pyldlib"* "$pyprefix/lib/$pypy3lib" "$pydist/lib/" || true
To Reproduce
On Debian Bullseye
linux/appimage/build.sh --python /usr/bin/python3 --wheel dist/plover-4.0.0rc2-py3-none-any.whl
Expected behavior
The App image should build.
Operating system
- OS: Debian Bullseye (10)
- Plover Version: 53c416f (ie., head as of 2023-10-19)
Hardware
x86_64
As a general note, it would be helpful if the AppImages were built against a conservative glibc... so, for example, using CentOS.
This is because, unfortunately, glibc cannot be statically linked.
Alternatively, the AppImage could be built on AlpineLinux, which is based on musl
, which can be statically linked, which means that the AppImage depends only on the kernel itself.
