Summary0003301: libwadseeker shared library dependency is not handled properly at runtime in Doomseeker after "sudo make install"
DescriptionDoomseeker has a shared library dependency to libwadseeker, which requires activating the ldconfig trigger. This needs to be done (but isn't yet done) to update the dynamic linker cache to find libwadseeker.so.

Failure to activate the ldconfig trigger means Doomseeker (from /usr/local prefix?) may fail to execute to missing libwadseeker.so shared library dependency post-install. This does not affect build-path executables (which still have RPATH for a good reason, but will be cleaned post-install from any RPATHs).

Lintian error: package-must-activate-ldconfig-trigger (Severity: serious, Certainty: certain)
Steps To ReproduceFound in COMPILE.txt of the source repository root:

Linux compilation instructions:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install


"sudo ldconfig" is a missing step as a workaround.

If activating ldconfig for testing this, rename or remove libwadseeker.so from LIBDIR and run ldconfig again to get a cache without libwadseeker to avoid "well, it works for me now".

 Initially discussed in 0003232 notes. Child of 0003246 because of Lintian error affecting Debian packaging.

What is the correct resolution here? We could naively add the requirement to trigger ldconfig to COMPILE.txt instructions and force myself to activate ldconfig in Debian's trigger files in the package.

Perhaps a bigger problem is trying to understand why the library is not automatically discovered already (dh_makeshlibs).

 I'm not sure what changed, but please test this with Doomseeker 1.2. Last time I tried, I didn't have this issue.

 Tested again with a .deb package, but I had it installed to /usr/bin. Maybe this is not a big concern after all, or it was fixed sometime in 1.2.

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-6) ...

 Another theory: OP's issue was due to faulty Debian packaging, caused by a split between Doomseeker and Wadseeker packages. The tests I did with one .deb had both Doomseeker and Wadseeker included.

Reopening is always a possibility.
