  • 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 ).

    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.

  • Help for create an installer of my app in raspberry pi 4
    1 project | /r/QtFramework | 11 Jan 2022
    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.
