vtest server unable to find libvirglrenderer if not installed or without LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This only affects kicking vtest server installed at a custom location. Directly starting the server in the build output dir is not affected.

e.g. an example of the issue is:

  • the host machine doesn't have virglrenderer installed in path
  • add prefix to /tmp/xxx for install
  • start vtest server from prefixed install location
  • unable to find libvirglrenderer

A workaround can be LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the install location. Forgetting to do so could end up linking against the wrong library already installed in system paths.

Options:

  1. do static linking for vtest server
  2. add rpath to default out path and out install path
  3. suggest installing to system lib paths
  4. suggest manually setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
