Runtime Dependencies

ref extractous

This package bundles both the NIF library (libnif_extractous) and its dependency libtika_native in a single archive. During build, we modify the library paths to ensure proper runtime loading:

Platform-specific Handling

• Linux: Uses patchelf to set the relative RPATH to $ORIGIN, allowing the bundled libtika_native.so to be found alongside the NIF library
• macOS: Uses install_name_tool to modify the dynamic library path, ensuring libtika_native.dylib is loaded from the same directory as the NIF library using @loader_path

This ensures that the NIF library can find its Tika dependency without requiring system-wide installation of Tika or additional configuration. The library is self-contained and should work out of the box when added as a dependency.
