CppSharp currently
DllImport
s thedlopen
anddlsym
functions from the library"dl"
. This is incorrect however, as described in dotnet/runtime#53291 (comment). Due to the way thatDllImport
searches for libraries, described here, specifying the library name as just"dl"
causes it to findlibdl.so
, which comes from thelibc6-dev
package, but not the correct version of the library,libdl.so.2
. The reason this crashes is becauselibc6-dev
is not guranteed to be installed everywhere, so on Linux installations where it isn't, such as mine, theDllImport
fails and throws an exception.This PR fixes the crash by naming the correct version of the library in the
DllImport
, which should always exist.
