easy-builder

Build multiple application with or without AppImage thanks to docker

Notice

The AppImage doesn't contain system libraries, it can happen you see something like symbol lookup error: ***: undefined symbol: g_module_open_full. If that happen, you can make an issue or PR, but the easiest will be that you build the AppImage on your system (with or without Docker).

How to use easy-builder

0. Install git and docker for your distribution

1. Clone the repository and go in the created directory

git clone https://github.com/kadogo/easy-builder.git
cd ./easy-builder

2. Generate your docker image

# Replace <APP> by the directory of the application you want build
# Replace <IMAGE> by the name you want for your docker image
docker build ./<APP>/ -t <IMAGE>

3. Use your image to build your application, the result of the build will be in your defined directory

# Replace <DIRECTORY> by the destination (the full path form not the relative) where you want to find the result of the build
docker run -it -v <FULL PATH DIRECTORY>/target:/target <YOUR IMAGE NAME>

4. You can exit your docker container with CTRL+D you will find the build result in <FULL PATH DIRECTORY>

Application description

• Arculator

• HandyMenu

MangoHud

• Tested on Debian Buster

• Image: Debian Buster is needed for the build to work

• It build an AppImage and give the libraries in the mangohud directory

• The AppImage no need anymore that we specify the architecture

• The AppImage use internally VK_LAYER_PATH and VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS to activate MangoHud vulkan layer

VkBasalt

• Tested on Debian Buster

• Image: Debian Bullseye is needed because it must be built with at least GCC 9

• It build an AppImage and give the libraries in the vkbasalt directory

• Because the build of GCC 9 the lib libstdc++ is built statically without that there will be an GLIBCXX error

• The AppImage use internally VK_LAYER_PATH and VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS to activate VkBasalt vulkan layer

• You can use VKBASALT_CONFIG_FILE to define the vkbasalt.conf

Yad
