Ubuntu
renderdoc package

Should the spirv-tools dependency have a version specified?

Asked by John Z

LunarG provides a spriv-tools package that is much newer. The spirv-tools repo no longer generates "libSPIRV-Tools.so", so if a user installs LunarG's spirv-tools package breaks trying to run Ubuntu's renderdoc package:

```
$> qrenderdoc
qrenderdoc: error while loading shared libraries: libSPIRV-Tools.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```

It looks like spirv-tools changed the shared library from "libSPIRV-Tools.so" to " libSPIRV-Tools-shared.so"

It looks like creating a symlink named "libSPIRV-Tools.so" doesn't fix the issue because renderdoc can't find "libSPIRV-Tools-opt.so" which is also no longer generated by the spirv-tools repo.

Any ideas what would be the correct way to fix this maybe on LunarG's package? Should Ubuntu's package specify a dependency version that Ubuntu builds?

Which Ubuntu release and which versions of renderdoc and spirv-tools are you talking about?

In each Ubuntu release all packages should be fitting together in the version provided in the Ubuntu repository. If that is not the case, then a bug report should be created.
If you are replacing an Ubuntu-provided package with a software version from somewhere else, then this is your responsibility. If it does no more work, then this is not Ubuntu's fault.

Can you help with this problem?
