Thanks for your quick reply. Mmh, that's strange. The modules are all
installed under /opt/click.ubuntu.com/pefl.maxperl/current/lib
(/opt/click.ubuntu.com/pefl.maxperl/current is the prefix I used when
compiling efl), so as you said, relative to the libs. The data files
are now also available at
/opt/click.ubuntu.com/pefl.maxperl/current/share.
Is there a way to tell EFL where the modules are located (I’m already
using ELM_PREFIX in my startup script. Are there other important
environment variables (perhaps for evas, ecore etc)? These are the
relevant bits in the startup script:
´´´
APP_DIR="/opt/click.ubuntu.com/pefl.maxperl/current"
APP_ID="pefl.maxperl"
APP_HOME="/home/phablet/.local/share/${APP_ID}"
APP_CACHE="/home/phablet/.cache/${APP_ID}"
APP_CONFIG="/home/phablet/.config/${APP_ID}"
mkdir -p "$APP_HOME" "$APP_CACHE" "$APP_CONFIG"
mkdir -p "$APP_HOME/.cache/efreet"
mkdir -p "$APP_HOME/.elementary/config"
export HOME="$APP_HOME"
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$APP_HOME/.local/share"
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$APP_CACHE"
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$APP_CONFIG"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$APP_DIR/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share"
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$APP_CACHE"
export ELM_PREFIX="$APP_DIR"
export ELM_BIN_DIR="$APP_DIR/bin"
export ELM_LIB_DIR="$APP_DIR/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu"
export ELM_DATA_DIR="$APP_DIR/share/elementary"
export ELM_LOCALE_DIR="$APP_DIR/share/locale"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$APP_DIR/lib/aarch64-linux-
gnu:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
[...]
exec "$APP_DIR/bin/elementary_config" "$@"
´´´
I don't know whether it is helpful, but here the output of eina_btlog
of the first error message (failed to load elementary module).
