[AppImage] Arch Linux "SWT OS.java Error: Failed to load swt-pi3, loading swt-pi4 as fallback"

[popsUlfr]

Hello,

I've already submitted this issue to Renesas engineers directly in the past but I'll submit an issue on github too.

Trying to launch the AppImage on Arch Linux results in:

./setup_fsp_v5_3_0_e2s_v2024-04.AppImage

Jun 11, 2024 9:41:48 AM org.apache.aries.spifly.BaseActivator log
INFO: Registered provider org.slf4j.simple.SimpleServiceProvider of service org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider in bundle slf4j.simple
SWT OS.java Error: Failed to load swt-pi3, loading swt-pi4 as fallback.
Installer:
An error has occurred. See the log file

I found a forum thread on the issue: https://qiita.com/t-yano-tryhard/items/8f37d0614212c7bdb083
Which discusses the workaround of mounting the AppImage and invoking the installer manually which works.

I came up with this bash snippet to automate the process:

mntfile=/tmp/fspmount
rm -f "$mntfile"
./setup_fsp_v5_3_0_e2s_v2024-04.AppImage --appimage-mount >"$mntfile" &
pid="$!"
mnt="$(tail -F "$mntfile" 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)"
rm -f "$mntfile"
"$mnt"/opt/e2studio_installer/installer
kill "$pid"
wait "$pid"

There might be an issue relating to a conflict between the gtk library on the system and inside the AppImage.

This is being internally tracked using FSPRA-3303.

I had the same issue. For me installing the package libpcre3 resolved the error.
There then came another error related to X11 and Wayland, but that's a different story ;-) .
