[tbb-dev] Firefox updater and dynamic libraries

[Sukhbir Singh]

Hi,

I have been working on porting the secure updater patches from Tor Browser to
Tor Messenger. While the updater works fine, there is a small issue where the
updater can't find the dynamic libraries on Linux and OS X. (Windows is fine.)

Here is for example what I get on Linux:

    tor-messenger/Browser/updates/0/updater: error while loading shared libraries:
    libmozsqlite3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The error on OS X is almost similar. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to "." alleviates this issue but I doubt if that is the
proper way of doing it.

We are applying #4234 and #13379 to our builds, and even #18900 that sets the
library path for the updater, but clearly I am missing something here.

Any thoughts on how to fix this the right way? Thanks!
