libconfig.so.8 not found (ubuntu 14.04)

[ikod]

Hello,

After extracting binaries from ldc2-1.0.0-beta1-linux-x86_64.tar.xz, any atempt to run ldc2 give error:
./bin/ldc2: error while loading shared libraries: libconfig.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
workaround: use libconfig.so.8 from ldc2-0.17.1

Thanks!

Same problem for me. Workaround by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to same as the ldc2 binary is in.
But I think the root of the problem is some change to the build system.

ldd ldc2-0.17.1-linux-x86_64/bin/ldc2
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd7952a000)
        libconfig.so.8 => /home/user/dlang/ldc2-0.17.1-linux-x86_64/bin/libconfig.so.8 (0x00007f97be378000)

ldd ldc2-1.0.0-alpha1-linux-x86_64/bin/ldc2
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffffe08000)
        libconfig.so.8 => /home/user/dlang/ldc2-1.0.0-alpha1-linux-x86_64/bin/libconfig.so.8 (0x00007f73f731e000)

ldd ldc2-1.0.0-beta1-linux-x86_64/bin/ldc2
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd1a2f2000)
        libconfig.so.8 => not found

Yep - Travis builds fail too

Ok, I think I found the root cause. The following link flags from our build script are not used: -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='-static-libstdc++ -Wl,-rpath,\$ORIGIN'. This explains the dependency to g++4.8 and the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thank you 👍

I also have this issue on travis-ci can we get a beta2 to test again with this fix ?

[dnadlinger]

@extrawurst: The quickest way to get the beta would probably be to figure out a good solution to the remaining issues in #1462. ;)

@klickverbot I see, I believe in you guys :)

[redstar]

Ok, I committed the PR which should fix this. I'll run the release scripts when I'm home.
