cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cannot locate .so file for add-on

[guoyiz23]

Upon running a "Debug" build type, the fcitx executable in build/bin is such that RUNPATH=build/bin.

When I execute it, it gives

E2025-04-12 08:32:56.754938 addonloader.cpp:55] Could not locate library libwayland.so for addon wayland.
I2025-04-12 08:32:56.755004 addonmanager.cpp:201] Could not load addon wayland
E2025-04-12 08:32:56.755043 addonloader.cpp:55] Could not locate library libxcb.so for addon xcb.
I2025-04-12 08:32:56.755064 addonmanager.cpp:201] Could not load addon xcb

Upon

patchelf --remove-rpath fcitx5

$ ./fcitx5
./fcitx5: symbol lookup error: ./fcitx5: undefined symbol: _ZN5fcitx14getEnvironmentB5cxx11EPKc

Suggestions would be much appreciated. Moreover, I am writing as someone who ideally would want to make some contribution to this project in the long term future.

you need to make install to run it.

All the default addon loading path is based on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

The latter error is because your host system already has fcitx library installed. it's not using the library that you build.
