This now copies shared libraries next to the binary itself and sets the binary
RUNPATHto$ORIGIN.I tested this locally with
LD_DEBUG=libsand it seems to work just fine as they do get picked:A quick side note on
RUNPATHvsRPATHfor future reference:RPATHis checked beforeLD_LIBRARY_PATHwhileRUNPATHis checked after, allowing it to be overridden. If both are set, RPATH is ignored in favor ofRUNPATH.RPATHappears to be deprecated and discouraged, in favor ofRUNPATHspecifically because the latter has lower priority thanLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Following those recommendation I settled forRUNPATH. If we ever want to change that, we need to pass--force-rpathtopatchelf.It's also worth noting that some applications that I have installed on my machine, namely Zulip and Obsidian, use
RPATH.
