Check out LinuxDeploy as an example of tooling for packing up a Linux application with all dependencies and shipping an artifact that is easy to run: https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy

I recommend moving away from linuxdeployqt, and use linuxdeploy (almost the same name, but without the "qt" at the end). It has a Qt plugin, and it's as easy to use. Check how a real world application is using it, and it's with Qt 6.

You can use linuxdeploy if you want an alternative to generating the AppDir and the AppImage.

This is how you would generally build linuxdeploy (or any cmake project, in general): $ git clone https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy $ cd linuxdeploy $ cmake --build BUILD_DIRECTORY Where BUILD_DIRECTORY is either a directory in source path (eg. build) or another directory somewhere else (incase you want to do out-of-tree building)

You can use AppImage for this. It's easy to generate one using linuxdeploy, but I've found that it's not so easy to generate a fully portable one, when the distributions are very different in library versions.

The maintainer of that tool is rather hostile about allowing it to run anywhere but an ancient version of Ubuntu. If supporting ancient distributions isn't a requirement the similarly named linuxdeploy is a good choice. https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy

With it being rooted you could use Linux Deploy (requires Busybox) & then the documentation seems pretty robust for AdGuard Home. Tricky part would be to figure out how to give the phone a static IP.

> I don't know if this tool solves the problem

Not yet but it's on my list as a "phase 2" of sorts for getada. I have an alpine VPS that I'm playing around with but the main issue is that while alire can be built for alpine, any compilers it pulls from its toolchain won't work with it since none of them are built against musl. We've been talking about it here https://github.com/alire-project/alire/issues/792#issuecomme...

Join the club! And see this issue.

Alire brings in msys2, so that's why I'm curious if it's still working on Windows. Easiest way to install alire on Windows is through the installer linked on their main website.

We are considering if Alire should change defaults in regard to dealing with Unicode sources. The details are https://github.com/alire-project/alire/discussions/1334 if you're interested and want to provide some feedback.

It's also worth mentioning that Ada and SPARK are very easy to pick up these days. There's Cargo-like tool Alire [1], Ada Language Server [2], official VSCode plugin [3] and Open VSX plugin [4], Emacs Ada mode [5] and GNAT Studio [6]. With Alire one can easily install GNAT FSF builds (meaning GPL with linking exception) and SPARK tools. All libre software.

Not to mention Ada being really versatile and well thought out language.

#1157 on Alire's GitHub page raises this issue as well. I've placed a comment over there. If the website's code is located on GitHub, it would be easier for users to contribute and get deployed automatically.
