Is there a way to configure Compose Desktop to set a system environment variable? Specifically the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on Linux.

System.setProperty maybe ?
Or in a script that fires up the Compose app ?

How would a script be bundled in the compose app to set this env var? I can't seem to find an option for it in org.jetbrains.compose.desktop.DesktopExtension or anything it can navigate to.

The script set the env var then calls the desktop app....

[martmists]

Right, but how would I configure gradle to run that bash script instead of the app itself when it's bundled as a deb?

System.setProperty sets a property within the JVM. But LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a system environment variable, so it needs to be set either before launching the JVM app or by running native code. Both could be options, but I'm wondering if there is a way to configure this with the Compose Desktop native distribution packaging.
