AppImage
Would be it possible to build libraries as dialog, gtk4, libadwaita, libqalculate and yad in AppImage format to work on the corporation version of Red hat Linux?

Hello! The coordinator of the team, who takes care of the Linux images, said that they do not want to approve the software they find unnecessary for the job/work, keeping the job/operating system lean and optimised. The solution is to use AppImages. But |

Hello @probonopd and @TheAssassin! I was able to build all these libraries. I tested on Red Hat Linux and all they failed due to countless missed libraries. I will have to include all the missed libraries. But I am worried. Would it be possible to isolate the libraries, for example, You can get my compressed file: https://github.com/gusbemacbe/dotfiles-minimos/releases/download/v10.0/AppImages.tar.gz |

As the name suggests, AppImage is for applications. It cannot be used to "just" ship libraries for use by Gnome extensions. But if you want to ship an application that uses e.g., libadwaita, then you can bundle libadwaita with the application that uses it in the AppImage. |

Hi
I'm an author of YAD. There is a modern war here, so we have a good internet link even in
Bakhmut trenches (big thans to Elon Musk) and some free time (huge thanks to our artilery).
So periodically i can do what i like to do. But i'm not sure what kind of help you are asked
from me?

Only `gtk4`, `libadwaita` and `yad` are not applications, but are dependencies for
two GNOME extensions to work. And I also need `dialog` and `libqalculate`, that
are really not applications. They are like ImageMagick.

The authors of `gtk4` and `libadwaita` are GNOME developers. I doubt that they be
interested in developing them in AppImage format. Some of them do not have GitHub
account. Their repositories:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita
The authors of `dialog` do not have a Github account and did not host their
repository on GitHub. His repository is https://invisible-island.net/dialog/.
Evangelos ***@***.***) takes care of this repository for Arch Linux. I am
uncertain that he can help to build `dialog` in AppImage format.
The collaborators of `libqalculate` host their repository on GitHub. I will mark
one company and some of them:
- @Qalculate
- @alexhenrie, @chengsun, @Daninet, @hanna-kn, @idamir, @NorwayFun, and @Polakrity;
The author of `yad` is @v1cont. I am uncertain that he can help because he has
difficulties as he is in Ukraine amid the war.

I installed Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.7 on VirtualBox, similar to my company's computer's SO. I checked the list of installed packages, then it seems that these binaries do not support the version 2.28 of I am uncertain if this version of GNOME is compatible with these two extensions: I noticed that Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.7's repositories do not have Is there how to build the latest version of GNOME Shell, bundling all the dependencies and libraries, in AppImage format, for Red Hat Linux?

Thanks. Look where your app is running - on FreeBSD :-)
This shows the advantage of AppImages that bundle everything. 💯 As for your question, it seems like your code never gets executed, because the code block directly above your addition runs the application. You would need to modify the existing block instead of appending your own. Like this: You get the idea. I haven't fully tested this, so let me know how this works for you. Test it inside and outside the AppImage (that is, by symlinking and running If it works as intended, I'd like to make this the default for everyone. |
