AppImage doesn't work when `libthai` isn't installed
I'm using Funtoo GNU/Linux when i wanted to try out gitbutler. However, when I downloaded the AppImage and tried running it, it doesn't work, and running it in the terminal shows that it is looking for libthai.so, in which I cannot install on my system since it is not available.
Also apparently, it has been evident that Tauri apps when run as an AppImage on systems similar to mine (according to https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/5060) won't run because of the same dependency issue. I'm hoping that upon release you may also look into adding libthai as an optional dependency for GNU/Linux users who don't happen to have, or cannot install libthai on their system.
This should be resolved in tauri. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/4930
but why do i still have this problem? i still have this issue when trying to run the latest appimage:
nolle@shinobu [Sat, 09:44:02 PST] [~/AppImage] ~/AppImage/git-butler_0.10.16_amd64.AppImage
git-butler: error while loading shared libraries: libthai.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Meantime, GitButler 0.11 is available and I wonder if the tauri fixes trickled through. Could you try to reproduce the issue with the latest version?
Going to close this as this is more of an issue with Tauri - it doesn't seem to be the case that we can contol anything dependency-related with AppImage packaging from our end.
