That's certainly an option. But to the best of my knowledge most client distros that people are running (think Ubuntu 12.4, Debian stable, random version of Fedora or OpenSUSE, Magaia, Mint, Arc, 50 others) don't support running conainers, either. No, I really think the way to go is to have all my libraries included in a tar file, install that in a directory, have a little wrapper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and be a happy camper. The big problem with that is libraries that aren't really relocatable. Crap like libmarble ALWAYS trying to load plugins from the system path, regardless where it is installed. Of course I have long since disabled Marble plugins in my version of the library. But I'm sure there will be other libraries trying to read / load files from system locations. So finding and patching out those issues will be the major challenge in this little project :-) /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
