I’ve compiled EmbroiderModder2 from source over at GitHub.
I compiled it on a derivative of Ubuntu 14.04 using a live image. I can run it on my main installed OS of Zorin OS 9 (14.04) and I can run it off a live image of Kubuntu 14.04, however, none of the 16.04 or 16.10 live images that I’ve tried seem to work.
I put in all the dependences that were listed on the GitHub site (including build dependencies). I used checkinstall to create a deb package after qmake for building.
Hi @wwderw, please post the error messages, the AppImage and the script you used to generate it. If done right, your AppImage should run on newer versions as well.
Attached is the error message that I get. Only on 16.04 systems. On my 14.04 (where I complied it), it works fine on that live image and on my production rig.
I know that you deprecated some things, I have no idea where to start on building it using other methods then what was described in your presentation. Although I was never able to be able to use the command create-appimage, it always said “command not found”, so I’m sure there is something that I have done wrong there. Again, I only possess enough knowledge it seems to think that I can bundle up apps myself that don’t come already packaged as an appimage. Unless I have dummied down step by step, it seems that I have a hard go of it.
I wish more projects would provide already built appimages.
The error above looks to me like Qt was not bundled properly (which can be a bit tedious; so I recommend to convert existing binary packages. This option might be the easiest if you already have up-to-date packages in place, ideally a ppa for trusty or earlier or a debian repository for oldstable. In this case, you can write a small .yml file and in many cases are done with the package to AppImage conversion. This handles Qt automatically for you.
