Bug ID: 485861
Summary: AppImage linked and requires libOpenGL as of 24.02
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 24.02.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Installation
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: kirk...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
As of version 24, the kdenlive binary within AppImage seems to be linked with
new libraries which were not included in the version 23. This causes that
launching the AppImage will fail to start as libOpenGL is missing as it is not
installed by default on all systems. This is most likely caused by the bump
from Qt5 to Qt6, possibly commit
https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive/-/commit/3c104cdee6abde311140187ad3f07e31b555abb6.
As far as I've read from related discussions (see below), libGL and others are
just wrappers for libOpenGL and thus this shouldn't be linked in the first
place.
For example:
kdenlive-23.08.5-x86_64.AppImage
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x00007fd9a9879000)
libGLdispatch.so.0 => /usr/lib/libGLdispatch.so.0 (0x00007fd9a6348000)
libGLX.so.0 => /usr/lib/libGLX.so.0 (0x00007fd9a89ce000)
kdenlive-24.02.0_A-x86_64.AppImage
libOpenGL.so.0 => /usr/lib/libOpenGL.so.0 (0x00007f0c11632000)
libGLX.so.0 => /usr/lib/libGLX.so.0 (0x00007f0c11600000)
libQt6OpenGL.so.6 =>
/tmp/.mount_kdenlimN5pKY/usr/bin/./../lib/libQt6OpenGL.so.6
(0x00007f0c1054a000)
libGLdispatch.so.0 => /usr/lib/libGLdispatch.so.0 (0x00007f0c0b10f000)
libEGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1 (0x00007f0c0ae9c000)
As far as I've read, libOpenGL is system dependent and shouldn't be bundled in,
but we also link to it in the new Qt6 build. I'm not too familiar with the
build process, but is there a way to not link it?
See related discussions:

https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/pkg2appimage/blob/master/excludelist#L18
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch 24.02.0 AppImage on any Linux system without libopengl0 installed.
2. Fails to launch.
WORKAROUND:
Install libopengl0 on the system, but as AppImage is advertised as "run
anywhere standalone application", it is not the ideal solution.
