I'm hoping the esteemed nix-dev list can give me some advice. I'm working on fixing the Jitsi binary package, since it fails to be usable for audio calls, being unable to find Pulse, among other things[1]. So fine, I need to set the RPATH, but it seems I have to patch the .so files individually. (Is that because this is a Java program? I have the same issue in my binary Scilab 5 PR.) Running ldd on all of the shipped .so files shows that there are lots of them that depend on various system libraries here and there inconsistenly (libjawt, libstdc++, X, libssl, a few others).
I'm wondering what the preferred approach is for handling this. I can see a few ways: - lib.makeLibraryPath for each .so and patchelf it, tedious. - lib.makeLibraryPath one large path and patchelf all objects to use it, easiest but more than necessary. - Even better, is there a function I can pass a list of deps to and it will patch .so files with missing deps automagically? It would be nice to build these bundled .so's from scratch, but that's potentially a much bigger task. Thanks in advance, Bryan [1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/3482
