AppImage doesn't work on PopOS #17

Closed arteme closed 1 year ago

arteme commented 1 year ago

The AppImage for Linux fails on PopOS systems with the following message:

[~/Downloads]$ ./Pod-UI-v0.7.0-25-g37e157f-dirty-x86_64.AppImage 
/tmp/.mount_Pod-UIEkT4tc/AppRun.wrapped: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_Pod-UIEkT4tc/usr/bin/../lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_ot_layout_get_horizontal_baseline_tag_for_script

This seems due to appiamge decision to not bundle libharfbuzz (https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/pkg2appimage/issues/352), which libpango uses and our systems having vastly different versions on libharfbuff (2.7.4 in PopOS 22.04, 4.4.1 on my system)

It is probably a good idea to build AppImage in docker with well-known linux distro and package everything it may need, like libharfbuzz. Could try this out as well: https://hub.docker.com/r/appimagecrafters/appimage-builder

I've tried building without linuxdeploy gtk plugin, since I already collect GTK using a script, but it may benefit from a custom build of GTK that correctly looks up resources by relative path (the feature, which is often disabled by distros, which linuxdeploy gtk plugin works around by creating config files in a temp directory). This may also decrease the overall size of generated AppImages too!

Same problem with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS: /tmp/.mount_Pod-UIheo5na/AppRun.wrapped: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_Pod-UIheo5na/usr/bin/../lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_ot_layout_get_horizontal_baseline_tag_for_script

Please try the new AppImage: https://github.com/arteme/pod-ui/releases/download/v0.7.2/Pod-UI-v0.7.2-x86_64.AppImage It is now built in an Ubuntu-based Docker container and should be much friendlier to all systems

No activity here., so I'll assume, the new release is working for people. If there are still issues, please do not hesitate to reopen.
