Thanks Panos.

I'd just got part of the way there from your comment on this https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23163 report.

(I'm a complete Linux noob.)

So now I know about 'ldd' I was able to execute:
# ldd CB304 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffed1b36000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f2e7fa49000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 
(0x00007f2e7f82a000)
        libexpat.so.1 => not found
        libfreetype.so.6 => not found
        libfontconfig.so.1 => not found
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 
(0x00007f2e7f4a1000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f2e7f103000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 
(0x00007f2e7eeeb000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f2e7eafa000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f2e7fc4d000)

I was able to use apt to install "expat" and "fontconfig", but it couldn't find "freetype".

Nonetheless I thought I'd try my app again, hoping at least that the error have moved on. But alas:

# ./CB304 -ui
./CB304: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory


Also - can you confirm whether LC standalones (built from 9.6.6) should be able to run on Ubuntu 18? Or is Ubuntu 16 the limit?

Many thanks,

Ben

Hello all,

I think libexpat.so.1 is a system lib required by LC apps, so it might be
worth installing it.

I have not done any research, but I would expect that it would be enough to
do something like:

sudo apt-get install expat

or

sudo apt-get install libexpat

Kind regards,
Panos

Hi Stephen,

Built on Mac. I didn't zip it because I've got a folder shared with the
Docker
container, so I just dragged it in.

But sensing something behind your question... I just zipped up the
original
build folder, dragged that in, and then in the shell unzipped it, invoked
that
binary... same result.

Thanks anyway!

Ben

Hi Ben,
Did you make the standalone on mac or win and  zip the file before
uploading ?

I'm trying to develop an app which will run headless on Linux (actually
in
a
docker container). I've done this before... so long ago that I can't
remember... with an earlier version of this app. Normally I run this on
Mac
and Windows.

So (under LiveCode 9.6.6) I simply checked the Linux 64 option in the
Standalone builder, built the app, transported the folder with the
binary
"MyApp", "Externals" folder, and "revsecurity.so" to the Docker
container,
and
tried to launch it:

# ./MyApp -ui
./MyApp: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Does this mean that I
need to
do something different in how I build the app, or install something
different
in the environment?

(The container is running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS).

TIA,

Ben
