If the screen shots are up to date, please remove the second instance of "Error: Missing library" at the bottom of the alert. Thanks!

comment:4 by diver, 13 years ago

AFAIU at first LaunchBox tries to launch file by path and if it fails it tries to launch by signature. If both path and signature changed this error messages would be different.

comment:5 by diver, 13 years ago

Also it would be nice to know which libraries are actually missing.

comment:6 by stippi, 13 years ago

Oh, sorry. Now I get it. I was missing that these were two distinct error messages in one dialog. (Even though I wrote the original code...)

Yes it would be nice to know which library is missing. IIRC, Tracker has some code to obtain this information, but I am almost sure it doesn't work. At least I remember only getting "Missing library" from Tracker as well and launching the failing app from the Terminal to find out which library. (But Terminal doesn't do anything, it just happens to show the runtime_loader error output.)

Actually it does work in Tracker.

comment:8 by axeld, 13 years ago

Indeed, IIRC I have implemented that years ago. What still doesn't work AFAIK, and what probably misled stippi's memory was showing missing symbols when all libraries are there.

Resolution: fixed

Applied patch with hrev42902. Should've waited for BeGeistert's patch hour to have a shot at applying one for that, too... :)
