On Linux, have the
torch
hook use thebindepend_symlink_suppression
hook attribute to prevent PyInstaller's binary dependency analysis from creating symlinks to top-level application directory for shared libraries discovered in thetorch/lib
directory during binary dependency analysis.These symbolic links confuse certain
torch
builds about the location oftorch
, and preventtorch/lib/libtorch_cuda_linalg.so
from being (dynamically) loaded. The problematic builds are wheels provided by https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch fortorch
1.13.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x (tested with 1.13.1+cu117, 2.0.1+cu117, and 2.1.2+cu118). Later versions do not seem to be affected. The wheels provided on PyPI do not seem to be affected either, regardless of the version.However, these symlinks should be not necessary on linux in general, so there should be no harm in suppressing them for all versions.
Fixes #834.
