mtCellEdit VS linuxdeployqt

As for GUI-based CSV editor projects, I may highly recommend you also take a look mtCellEdit (C++/Qt[0]) and Tabulator (C++/Qt[1] & Python/Qt[2]) apps.

Both projects are cross-platform & FLOSS (free and open-source software), so available for Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.

FTR, mtCellEdit has a lot of functions especially useful for spreadsheet/CSV data analyzing.[3,4]

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 ).

Eagle uses 'linuxdeployqt' for cross-platform installations. Read about it HERE. There is a qt.conf file in the directory where the eagle executable is located. I am not sure exactly how to use it.

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.

For raspberry on the other hand is an entirely diferent story. I tried to use this: probonopd/linuxdeployqt but with no avail. The problem is that if i download the AppImage directly from the github account i cannot use it in the raspberry because it is not compiled for raspbian or i was told. So, i tried downloading directly the source code and compile it using the Qt Creator on the raspberry but also i am encountering several problems. When i try to build qt creator gives me this error: MakeFile:65: sub-QtWebEngineApplication-qmake_all] Error 3. Also, i am receiving Unkown module(s) Qt:webengine in the Qt Creator.

You are looking for the windows equivalent of Mac DMG format, or linux appimage https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/ / Flatpak.
