Problems with libraries in rpm

Ask Fedora

1

Hello, I’m trying to create an rpm for the open-source solarus game engine, but I got the same error when I try to use one the solarus commands: solarus-run and solarus-launcher. Can you help me to solve it please? This is the very first rpm I create

elouan660@fedora-elouan:~/Téléchargements$ solarus-run zsdx-v1.12.3.solarus
solarus-run: error while loading shared libraries: libsolarus.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here are:
The git repo of the version I want to compile: Files · v1.6.5 · Solarus Games / Solarus · GitLab ,
The rpm package: Proton Drive ,
And the spec file I written (solarus.spec):

I’m not a packager, but I would guess you’d need to include a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/solarus-x86_64.conf containing:

/usr/local/lib64

and add %post -p /sbin/ldconfig and %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig to your spec file to get it to “work”. However, I’m sure you shouldn’t do it that way because of the potential side effects of adding all of /usr/local/lib64 to the default library search path. You probably need to allocate a unique namespace for your program’s libraries.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets

SPEC is no good at all if you actually want to package for Fedora.

I suggest you to read the extensive Guidelines here : Fedora Packaging Guidelines :: Fedora Docs

Here’s what a good SPEC would look like :

→ Key points :

  • use of url for source
  • use of macros for the directories in %files
  • use of a devel subpackage for the unversioned libraries and includes
  • use of cmake macros for buidling
  • use of pkgconfig/cmake for the devel buildrequires
  • proper licensing breakdown, using SPDX
  • autorelease/autochangelog
  • mandatory validation of the desktop and metainfo files

Note that RPM packaging might be not needed, there is a Flatpak for it :

flatpak search solarus
flatpak install org.solarus_games.solarus.Launcher

Thanks for this constructive message, I will rewrite the SPEC file. Unfortunately the flatpak version of solarus has been dropped in favour of the snap version.

5

The flatpak version is 1.6.5, which is the latest version. It has seen no release for the past 2 years.

6

You can install snap packages as well on Fedora after installing the snapd packages from the Fedora repository.

[vek@newbox ~]$ snap search solarus
Name     Version  Publisher     Notes  Summary
solarus  1.6.5    solarusgames  -      A lightweight, free and open-source game engine for Action-RPGs.
[vek@newbox ~]$

N.B. snap packages are unsandboxed on Fedora b/c it relies on AppArmor

8

That is not entirely correct. The snap packages runs with its own root file system which is bind mounted on top of the Fedora root file system, which means that the snap programs do not have access to the Fedora files. A few configuration files can then be made available in a read-only mode by specifically bind mount them on top of the corresponding file in the snap root file system. The snap root file system is a non-modifiable squashfs file system.

My final goal is to compile also the solarus quest editor

This part has caused issues in the past, which is why I tend to avoid Snaps :sweat_smile:

Same shenanigans:
