sioyek: error while loading shared libraries: libmupdf.so.24.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Serpentarius13]

Hey! This error is happening when trying to use either sioyek or sioyek-git repos. Only `sioyek-appimage' works on Arch, but it seems very outdated. I think detailed guide on how to manage build results to folders (like where to put bin + shaders + configs) is needed, so it would be manageable to build package myself since package managers versions are handled by other people, I was very confused when building myself as not-so-knowledgeable user. This would help other distros too

My suggestion is that you build with linux_app_image qmake config (qmake "CONFIG+=linux_app_image"). It doesn't actually build an appimage but produces a binary that can be converted to appimage. This config uses the mupdf 1.22 which is included in the source directory and the location of shader and config files are just next to the sioyek binary.

I have updated the mupdf in the development branch to 1.24.

I usually update sioyek-git on AUR when libmupdf is updated, triggering a recompilation and reinstallation using most AUR helpers. Otherwise you need makepkg -C reinstall sioyek-git yourself.
