[Linux] AppImage and build errors.

[begin-theadventure]

I can't start the .AppImage due to glibc error:

linuxdeployqt 6 (commit d41e234), build 723 built on 2020-07-30 06:25:46 UTC
ERROR: The host system is too new.
Please run on a system with a glibc version no newer than what comes with the oldest
currently still-supported mainstream distribution (xenial), which is glibc 2.23.
This is so that the resulting bundle will work on most still-supported Linux distributions.
For more information, please see
https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/issues/340

I have 2.37 version.

I also tried to build the app.

Errors:

-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++: command not found
CMake Warning:
  No source or binary directory provided.  Both will be assumed to be the
  same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
  become a fatal error in future CMake releases.


CMake Error: The source directory "uncso2/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Outside the build folder (without cd build):

-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++: command not found
CMake Warning:
  No source or binary directory provided.  Both will be assumed to be the
  same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
  become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

UnCSO2-2.0.5-linux64_gcc.AppImage works, its size is also larger than the 2.0.7 version.

2.0.7 doesn't contain any application files, just the stuff used for creating AppImages.

I had similar issue on Linux waay back and just ended up using Wine with the Windows version 💀

Well, I hope this will be resolved in a timely manner, but given that your one year old pull request hasn't been merged yet, I have my doubts.

[p0358]

I have some doubts it will, the guy has been inactive for a very long time, and even his Telegram was deleted for inactivity, and now his GitHub activity history is set to private, though previously there was nothing there for long time.

I even suspect with all of that, that he's likely died... either that, or he's found a different hobby from programming (on GitHub at least?) and stopped using Telegram altogether too...

Would you be able to fork it under the Harmony umbrella?
