[BUG] libayatana is a lazy dependency instead of a linked one

[Beethoven-n]

this is getting in the way of making a tauri-independent appimage, @quexeky could you look at this?
Drop-OSS/drop-app#103

[quexeky]

I'm thinking that the solution is probably something in the build script. I haven't looked much into it, but I believe that there are a few ways to force packaging libraries into the actual binary

[quexeky]

The only way that I've found to do it is by actually including it in the appimage files: https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/appimage/#custom-files

[Beethoven-n]

so when is it actually used? how does the lazy part work, and what would happen if you were to actually import it instead?

[quexeky]

The problem is that we don't do that - it's done through libappindicator, which itself is referenced by tauri's System Tray, so unless we want to rewrite that, it's only ever loaded at runtime instead of at compile time. The Lazy part is that "load at runtime" part

[Beethoven-n]

i think the more pressing issue is this kind of breaks the aur package. maybe i should close this and put it in the new packages repo?

[quexeky]

Don't mind me forgetting that I can transfer issues here lmao. But yeah that's a good point that we need to update the dependencies for the aur package

[Beethoven-n]

i would say it should probably be done in a way that Kind of links to it explicitly, at least technically, just so that ldd or readelf can see that it's a dependency so my appimage PR can work, but i think that's probably why paru refuses to install it when you naively add the library to the depends array

I got it to link:

Using the appindicator3-sys package, and then just calling the simplest function in lib.rs like this:

    let _ = unsafe { app_indicator_category_get_type() };

[Beethoven-n]

that'll do it lmao is that in main already?

[DecDuck]

Just added to your AppImage PR.

[Beethoven-n]

gonna test the build to see if it runs, and then if it uses all the correct libs
thank u

[Beethoven-n]

it does not run, it segfaults
/tmp/.mount_Drop_DSS9THz/AppRun: line 6: 1379072 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APPDIR/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib $APPDIR/usr/bin/$program $@

[Beethoven-n]

do i need to do ./optimize-appimage.sh after?

[DecDuck]

Tauri should spit out an AppImage of its own, can you see if that runs?
