[SOLVED] Fresh build GZDoom 4.8.2 Linux cant find ZMusic

[MartinHowe]

Putting it here in Technical Issues first, since it looks like something other than a core bug in the engine.

I just upgraded my Linux Mint to 21 from 20.3. GZDoom couldn't then find ZMusic. So I rebuilt my game engines from scratch. It still can't find it, and neither can Raze.

The libraries are there, as I rebuilt ZMusic first:

Code: Select all

martin@luna:~/Games/Engines/ZMusic$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libzmus*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusiclite.so -> libzmusiclite.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      23 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusiclite.so.1 -> libzmusiclite.so.1.1.10
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1412672 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusiclite.so.1.1.10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      14 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusic.so -> libzmusic.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusic.so.1 -> libzmusic.so.1.1.10
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3648528 Aug 13 18:21 /usr/local/lib/libzmusic.so.1.1.10

Any attempt to run GZDoom or Raze, even with no parameters whatsoever, give me this:

Code: Select all

martin@luna:~/Downloads$ gzdoom
/usr/games/gzdoom/gzdoom: error while loading shared libraries: libzmusic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

martin@luna:~/Downloads$ raze
/usr/games/raze/raze: error while loading shared libraries: libzmusiclite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there anything I can do about this, please?

OK forget it. Consider this a heads-up to anyone who made bash scripts to automate building *zdoom.

It seems ZMusic's Makefile now has an install target and puts everything in mainstream system library paths; you don't need to copy things to /usr/local (or anywhere else). Update your build scripts now

Case closed.
