------------------------------------------------------------------------------- README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a small script for bundling PulseView and its dependencies for Linux systems as an AppImage. AppImage is a bundle format for Linux applications that allows the user to download an application, make it executable, and run. No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. For more information on AppImage, please see http://appimage.org/ For example AppImages, please see https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages Status ------ Work in progress. Requirements ------------ Currently the script uses pre-existing build products from Jenkins that are built on Debian unstable. This makes the build product run on none but the latest distributions. A much better choice would be to build e.g., on Debian oldstable, CentOS 6, or Ubuntu Trusty or earlier. Examples for building bleeding-edge Qt4 and Qt5 applications on such mature build systems can be found at https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes The script has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 but is assumed to also run on Debian unstable with no or minor changes. However, it is strongly suggested to build and package the AppImage on a significantly older distribution as mentioned above for any productive use. Building -------- $ ./sigrok-native-appimage Per default it will put the AppImage in: ./out/*.AppImage Please edit the script if you want to change any settings.
