Almost there but getting: "execv error: Exec format error"

People,

After a lot of time after the previous post:

64bit .DEB -> ar x -> build AppImage on 64bit Fedora 26?

People, https://bisq.network/downloads does not have any RPM packages but I found if I extract the 64bit DEB archive on my Fedora 26 x86_64 workstation I can run the application from the installed directory just fine. For other, less literate Linux users, it would be good to have an AppImage version available but from reading some of the stuff on the forum I am still not sure that the AppImage version of Bisq that I could build from this extracted file system will work for other people - obvio…

I was finally able to build “Bisq-x86_64.AppImage” but when I run it I get the above error - I’ve got no idea where to start to try and debug it . . suggestions?

Thanks,
Phil.

Trying to convert packages to AppImages after the fact is doable, but it is much, much more work compared to convincing the original authors of applications to provide official AppImages in the first place. Did you ask them for an AppImage?

@probono ,

Yes, it was a kludgy attempt but worth a shot . .

I already know they don’t have time - it’s me or nothing ATM . .

If you absolutely must convert deb to AppImage then check out the pkg2appimage tool from https://github.com/AppImage/AppImages - you’d need to write a yml file for it.
