[oi-dev] LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Runpath issues.

[Jeremy Andrews]

I'm having a small problem with my port of Pale Moon to OI, and it's the 
only issue I have yet to resolve. The only way I can get it to find its 
libraries is via 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/bin/gcc/7/lib/amd64:/export/home/athenian/UXP/obj-release/dist/bin" 


I can get it to find the dist/bin libraries by hardcoding that path, but 
ideally I'd want to use something like $ORIGIN so the program doesn't 
have to rely on a hardcoded install path. I can't seem to get that flag 
working. I just want the binary to search the directory it's currently 
located in for libraries. I've tried -Wl,-R,\$$ORIGIN and 
-Wl,-R,\$ORIGIN, and neither one seems to work. When I run elfdump, I 
see that it keeps mangling the $ORIGIN flag in various ways... giving me 
RIGIN with the O cut off, or a string of numbers before ORIGIN, etc.

And it is being exceptionally stubborn about GCC libraries. It simply 
won't look for them in /usr/bin/gcc/7/lib/amd64 even if that path is 
hardcoded in, requiring an LD_LIBRARY_PATH as an override. I'm using GCC 
7 because the application apparently doesn't support GCC 6, and the 
system seemingly just won't have it without an explicit override.
