[BUG] Can't find tug and libgit2.so.1.3

[superlevure]

Describe the bug

• tug is not available in Ubuntu default PATH
• Failed to install the correct libgit2 lib

To Reproduce

After installation on Ubuntu with:

~ sudo apt install ./turbogit_v3.1.1_amd64_linux.deb

tug is not find in the PATH. Looking at the output of dpkg -L turbogit:

/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/turbogit
/usr/share/doc/turbogit/changelog.gz
/opt
/opt/local
/opt/local/bin
/opt/local/bin/tug

it seems that /opt/local/bin is not in Ubuntu default PATH.

After having corrected that, launching tug gives:

/opt/local/bin/tug: error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.1.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libgit2 with:

sudo apt install libgit2-dev

Did not solve the issue unfortunately :/

Versions

• tug: 3.1.1

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

I could indeed reproduce that issue, same here.

A couple of additional data points, on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, after installing libgit2 using:

sudo apt install libgit2-dev

We end up with:

find /usr -name "*libgit2*"                                                                                                                                                                                               14s lucas@development-lucas
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libgit2.pc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgit2.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgit2.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgit2.so.28
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgit2.so.0.28.4
/usr/share/doc/libgit2-dev
/usr/share/doc/libgit2-28

Setting export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu does not work, as libgit2.so.1.3 is still expected by tug.

What did the trick for me (temporary solution):

git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2
cd libgit2
git checkout tags/v1.3.0
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
sudo cmake --build . --target install
# Add to shell profile
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin

[superlevure]

Yup, did the exact same thing as a workaround (but forgot to come here to comment of course)

Indeed, libgit2 1.3. is not yet in Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS default sources

Should be fixed by version 4.0.0. Libgit2 is now statically linked, so no more system dependencies.
