Maybe consider bundling libonnxruntime.so in AppImage?

[alk0]

Problem: on Linux the AppImage can't work with "bundled" libonxxruntime (the one packed in app.asar), I've no idea why and whether it should. The hack below seems to solve the problem, so, maybe it's worth considering "properly" bundling the required lib when assembling the AppImage. Here's what I did and it worked:

• Unpack AppImage

./Smart-Connect-Setup-linux-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract

• Unpack ASAR

npx @electron/asar extract ./squashfs-root/resources/app.asar ./app.asar.temp

• Find libonnxruntime.so.1.14.0 somewhere there and copy it to squashfs' /usr/lib

cp ./app.asar.temp/node_modules/onnxruntime-node/bin/napi-v3/linux/x64/libonnxruntime.so.1.14.0 ./squashfs-root/usr/lib/ 

• Repack

https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/latest

./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage ./squashfs-root ./Smart-Connect-Mod-Setup-linux-x86_64.AppImage 

• Make sure there's no libonnxruntime.so.1.14.0 in system /usr/lib (or anywhere else)

ldconfig -p | grep libonnxruntime
locate libonnxruntime

• Run AppImage, enjoy
• Cleanup

rm -r ./app.asar.temp 
rm -r ./squashfs-root

@alk0 thanks for the helpful instructions.

I'm considering getting a Linux computer, which would enable me to figure out why it isn't being bundled as expected.

But so far, it's only been thanks to helpful people like yourself that the linux version has gotten off the ground, since I can't test it myself. 🌴
