Running charles on musl
- charles - web debugging proxy
You need openjdk 11 for this.
Download Charles, it comes with its own java in folder charles/lib/jdk/bin. We need to replace it with our installed java.
Delete the files and symlink yours:
$ cd charles/lib/jdk/bin
$ rm *
$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk11/bin/jrunscript .
$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk11/bin/keytool .
$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk11/bin/java .
Run charles using charles/bin/charles.
It crashes! Explore the java crash log file ~/hs_err_pid<n>.log for the reason:

We see that charles was packed with libwebp-imageio.so library. I just renamed the file so charles does not use it:
$ mv libwebp-imageio.so libwebp-imageio.so_
Charles now runs!
What happens when it tries to preview webp image? I have not come across one yet, but will let you know when I do.
