X-Git-Url: https://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=sigrok-util.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5aaf3346f1470bef34abfe85bc440c02e627414 sigrok-native-appimage: Add bugfix patch for AppImageKit. The problem was that relative paths would not work, since AppRun (part of the AppImage) would chdir() into the AppImage mount point (/tmp/.mount_xxxxx/usr), which would make glib's g_get_current_dir() return that path, so all glib functions calling that would do the wrong thing. For now, we fix this by patching away the chdir() in AppRun.
