Linux: v4.69.1 does not search runtime in runtimes folder

[GruberMarkus]

On Windows, MSAL.Net 4.69.1 searches and finds the runtime required for broker authentication in the following folder structure:

.\runtimes\win-arm64\native\msalruntime_arm64.dll
.\runtimes\win-x64\native\msalruntime.dll
.\runtimes\win-x86\native\msalruntime_x86.dll

On Linux, MSAL.Net 4.69.1 does not search the following path, which is from the Microsoft.Identity.Client.NativeInterop 0.18.1 package,:

.\runtimes\linux-x64\native\libmsalruntime.so

Instead, libmsalruntime.so needs to be in the same folder as Microsoft.Identity.Client.NativeInterop.dll.

Please advise if this is a bug in the Linux part of 4.69.1, or if the Windows runtime DLLs should also not be placed in a runtimes subfolder.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @GruberMarkus , it should have the same logic looking for dlls on Linux and Windows. What error did you get? Have you installed all the dependencies? Sometimes it won't be able to find the dll due to dependency not found issue.

Hi @xinyuxu1026,

the logic is not the same. What works on Windows, does not work on Linux. My initial post describes the folder structure that works on Windows, but does not on Linux.

@GruberMarkus on both Linux and Windows, we set the environment variable to set the dynamic library path. What error did you get? Have you installed all the dependencies? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/msal/dotnet/acquiring-tokens/desktop-mobile/linux-dotnet-sdk-wsl?tabs=ubuntudep#package-dependencies

@GruberMarkus , is this still happening? Could you install all the dependencies and try again? Thanks.
