I’m trying to create a functional appimage in FreeBSD , this script is just a demonstration to generate an appimage on FreeBSD and FreeBSD variants the end result does not generate a functional appimage, but it can run directly in the chromium.AppDir folder " ./AppRun " .
when running the created appimage gives the following error
> sh: ./chromium-84.0.4147.135.AppImage: Exec format error
access off the script at the following address

Not sure how this relates to AppImage.
Looks more like you are trying to make a functional AppDir on FreeBSD?
In order not to confuse people, please don’t call related concepts “AppImage”. [https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/blob/master/draft.md](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/blob/master/draft.md) defines what an AppImage is.
As for FreeBSD, I am currently experimenting with it. Please also see this relevant discussion; feel free to chime in there:

> @probonopd I see you are attached to the app image project. I would be interested in shipping a solution like this...

ok, did not want to cause confusion, but this .AppDir is functional just test on FreeBSD.

Yes, I also have functional AppDirs on FreeBSD…
