  • Two reasons because Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea
    2 projects | /r/archlinux | 5 May 2023
    The second reason is the "modularity" of Arch, why Debian packages all the dependences in many different packages? Because a developer can isolate a bug or exclude that package using the right patch. Arch tends to package everything together. That's why an AppImage of Chromium for me is about 140 MB from a Ubuntu base and 280-300 from an Arch-base... but at least this is an issue of both arch-deployer and arch2appimage... I think that by using linuxdeployqt would be better in this case (SPOILER, it requires the host system with an old GLIBC version, also Debian Bookwork is too new for it xD ).

    linuxdeployqt allow to automatically pack all shared library that we need on binary file into single AppImage file, although linuxdeployqt mainly to generate AppImage for Qt application but it can use for general application, more information on https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt.

  • Can't find a way to create AppImage for Qt6 programs
    3 projects | /r/QtFramework | 4 Oct 2022
    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.

  • Help building a tool from github
    2 projects | /r/linux4noobs | 11 Apr 2022
    By my reserch, I could install this (which is the what should solve the error), but I have no idea how I to built it into my system, it doesn't has the usual building.md file in it.
    2 projects | /r/linux4noobs | 11 Apr 2022
    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)
  • Glibc error for static linking Ada project?

    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.
  • Build stand-alone Qt product + publishing
    2 projects | /r/QtFramework | 17 Feb 2021
    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
