Running Sky from tel.red on Fedora25

On Fedora 25, sky crash up on start in QT.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Once workaround, is to let sky use the system provided qt5 libraries. 

$ rpm -q sky
sky-2.1.6327-1.fc24.x86_64
$ cd /usr/lib/sky

$ sudo mkdir old

$ sudo mv libQt5* old

$ sky

Would be nicer, if sky could use system libraries by default.

$ rpm -Uvh sky-system-qt ( meta package,installs sky and qt deps)

$ cat sky.sh

if shibboleet and ~/config/sky/.version is older than install

  use system library and start sky

  if start failed, disable shibboleet

else

  ld library jazz

  sky

fi

Lync on Linux

If you are looking to run Lync, aka Skype on Business on Linux you are in luck. Fisil has a client for Linux hosted at http://tel.red/ .

Unfortunately, this came with a bit of a hitch. The application failed to run on Fedora 23 (rawhide). Sky is bundling its own libraries !

$ sky
/opt/sky_linux/sky: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libXxf86vm.so.1: undefined symbol: _XEatDataWords

The solution, would be to load system library

$ LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libX11.so sky

reference:

_XEatDataWords was add to fix an issue - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXxf86vm/commit/id=284a88e21fc05a63466115b33efa411c60d988c9

Edit: Fixed with 381 ( http://tel.red/beta/sky_redhat64_v2.0.381.rpm ) and above.
