…
Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1, Library missing
Library not loaded: /Users/*/libfontconfig.1.dylib
Referenced from: <33EA767F-0901-3624-9CCD-6EF980787F4E>
/Users/USER/*/LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/Frameworks/libmergedlo.dylib
Reason: tried: '/Users/*/libfontconfig.1.dylib' (no such file),
'/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Users/*/libfontconfig.1.dylib' (no such
file), '/Users/*/libfontconfig.1.dylib' (no such file)
(terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)
…
My guessing:
Cause seems to be in this file: Contents/Frameworks/libmergedlo.dylib
Looking into libmergedlo.dylib with otool:
% otool -L
/Users/$USER/Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/Frameworks/libmergedlo.dylib|grep
libfontconfig.1.dylib
/Users/tdf/lode/jenkins/workspace/lo_gerrit/tb/build_master/workdir/UnpackedTarball/fontconfig/src/.libs/libfontconfig.1.dylib
(compatibility version 18.0.0, current version 18.1.0)
--> There seems to be a hardcoded file and path in libmergedlo.dylib:
/Users/tdf/lode/jenkins/workspace/lo_gerrit/tb/build_master/workdir/UnpackedTarball/fontconfig/src/.libs/libfontconfig.1.dylib
, which doesn't exist on the user's system, and so can't be found – so, the
app crashes on launch.
Please investigate and fix the issue.
