Hi,

first of all I apologize if this is not the right section to post this question, but I didn't
know where else to post it.

I've developed an application which uses a shared library developed by me.

Basically I want to give both the application and the shared library without the source,
and avoiding any installation process.

What I'd like to achieve is to provide a zip packet, which when unpacked, without doing
anything else, can run the application right away.

My problem is how to tell the loader to look for the shared library used in a relative path (perhaps the same of the application (working directory).

Usually you have to tell the loader which directory to look for for the library you want to use, by listing the directory in its .conf file (ld.so.conf), but I want to avoid this.

Is this possible to do? If so, how?

The working environment is of course Linux.

Any hint would be appreciated.

Regards,
S.
