Hello,
Would you mind clarifying how to get a fresh AppImage build on Linux?
Thanks!
You can find the script generating the AppImage in the build folder of sources.
I spot it, but it fails. As I’m not keen on meson/ninja, I wonder if this is about a missing companion tool or if I miss something else:
./build/appimage/generate.sh
The Meson build system
Version: 0.45.1
Source dir: /src
Build dir: /src/build/appimage/build
Build type: native build
meson.build:250:27: ERROR: lexer
opt_var.add_cmake_defines({‘BUILD_SHARED_LIBS’: false})
I think your meson version is too old.
We asked:
meson_version: '>=0.56.0'
Oh didn’t notice that. I’m using a Dockerized ubuntu, I’ll check for newer version of meson. Thanks a lot!
Good version indeed helped. Thanks!
Yet, I still got an issue, but I suppose it might be related to Docker environment; here’s log for information (notice that I added a set -x in generate.sh script).

I can’t help on this one.
yep yep, that was just “in case”.
