I found that my app pyinstall built on ubuntu 13.10 crashes on 14.04beta (calling xcb_send_fd which is in libxcb.so.1.)
Earlier (see another thread) I found that a 13.04 build crashes 13.10. The hack described in another thread by Dave Capresi (omitting certain system libraries, in this case just libxcb.so.1 ) works in this case, and then a 13.10 build doesn't seem to crash 13.04, 13.10, and 14.04. But I would like to understand better. My mental model is that pyinstall 'sandboxes' my app to that every library it uses (except libc?) is archived in the package and is loaded preferentially from the archive since pyinstaller bootloader sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH.) So I don't understand why my app is calling a library function (xcb_send_fd) that is not in my app's set of archived libs? I don't think that libc calls it. Can anyone explain this? Its not very important. I need to build on 14.04 anyway since it has fixes in PyQT that I need. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
