Failure to Build Related to AppImage #71

Closed JupiterSky11 closed 2 years ago

JupiterSky11 commented 2 years ago

I've been having loads of trouble getting this to build properly, but most of the issues are simply related to things I didn't have downloaded. (As to why that is, I am not sure. I ran the install script, but there is a lot more in here that I needed.)

Besides that though, I have found an error I have yet to solve.

[ALL  ]      [appimage/stderr] appimagetool, continuous build (commit 0880085), build 2133 built on 2020-07-09 12:25:52 UTC
[ALL  ]      [appimage/stderr] Using architecture x86_64
[ALL  ]      [appimage/stderr] Deleting pre-existing .DirIcon

[ALL  ]      [appimage/stderr] AppStream upstream metadata found in usr/share/metainfo/com.bay12forums.linuxdwarfpack.appdata.xml
[ERROR]      [appimage/stderr] /usr/bin/appstreamcli: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappstream.so.4: undefined symbol: g_ref_string_release
[ALL  ]      [appimage/stderr] Failed to validate AppStream information with appstreamcli
[ALL  ]      ERROR: Failed to run plugin: appimage

Seems that there's a symbol lookup error, but I have no clue what that could mean or what I can do to fix it.

I'd also like to mention that building on top of a partially built results in a failed build as opposed to ignoring already built files or rewriting them, but that's just a minor complaint.

Apparently related to this: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/856 If I understand correctly, the recent versions of /usr/bin/appstreamcli (provided by your system) do not work nicely with the libraries bundled into linuxdeploy (the tool used to build the Appimage, which is an Appimage itself).
That would explain why the problem does not happen in the Github Actions CI environment, which is an older Ubuntu-18, but does happen on our up-to-date distros.

There is a fix (?) here, merged in Dec. 2020:
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/commit/8bbf694455d00f48d835f56afaa1dabcd9178ba6 Let's try with a more recent version of linuxdeploy...

The fix works perfectly. Thanks for the help!
