But, I don't know where it gets this new directory. Even using a relative directory, as with Boost.Filesystem, it sees the file, but dlopen (I guess) just converts it to a directory relative to the code/project files, which won't work with the executable. I'm using the same compiler for the libraries and executable, all (I guess, I don't specify to the compiler (G++)) 32-bit. Trying "LD_PRELOAD=SFGame.so /bin/ls" just says that SFGame.so can't be preloaded:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'SFGame.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Using LD_PRELOAD with the path to Launcher instead of ls makes it run Launcher, which of course fails. Setting it without a path doesn't change the result of the strace of Launcher.
