[ARCH] libappimageupdate.so: : No such file or directory

[gleitoncampos]

Hello! I installed the AppImageLauncher via AUR and yaourt (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/appimagelauncher-git) and if I try to open the AppImageLauncherSettings, nothing happens. If I try to open a AppImage file, I receive a "/usr/bin/AppImageLauncher: error while loading shared libraries: libappimageupdate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I'm using Arch + KDE Plasma 5. Attached the installation stdout

Thanks

There's a bug in that AUR file, there needs to be a second CMake run after building for the first time. It's a workaround for a limitation in CMake regarding path resolving.

Please see

AppImageLauncher/travis/build-lite.sh

Lines 56 to 66 in 33e7814

	# compile dependencies
	make -j $(nproc) libappimage libappimageupdate libappimageupdate-qt
	# re-run cmake to update paths to dependencies
	cmake .
	# build rest
	make -j $(nproc)
	# prepare AppDir
	make install DESTDIR=AppDir

.

Can you please fix the AUR pkgbuild stuff? I'm not maintaining it. Or perhaps contact the upstream maintainer?

Tks for the info! I'll try this and send this to the upstream maintainer. Thank you.

You can also send my apologies for the crappy workflow.
