- Build only the portion necessary for creating Ember AppImages
- Use the resulting AppImageKit components to create the Ember AppImage
- This will remove the requirement to install/compile AppImageKit manually
- Minor cleanup/adjustment of existing AppImage code

I was going to write up the new process for building an AppImage to post on the wiki but it's not simple, and I'm lazy... so instead I modified hammer to take care of all the AppImage stuff internally. ;) Shell scripts are more fun to write than wiki pages and this will make the wiki page MUCH easier to write! |

Oh, almost forgot, there are two additional package dependencies with this change: xorriso and python-xdg. Don't think either should be a problem for any major GNU/Linux distro. |

I would prefer "appimagekit" to fit with the other options which are all lower case.

Ah, crap. That's a typo. The script already expects it to be lower case. I'll fix the "documentation"in the morning. It's past my bedtime now. ;-)

Ok, help screen updated. |
|
Running "./hammer.sh release_ember dev image" results in an error, but none is reported. The script finishes with this output: However, when looking at the logs AppDir.log says: and AppImage says: |
|
Possibly missing |
|
Erik, that path is from an older version of hammer. Could you try removing your hammer directory and re-cloning from the updated hammer? Let me know if that fixes the problem. |
|
David, the paths are different because this commit allows hammer to build the portions of AppImageKit that it needs, instead of using a separately compiled AppImageKit. |
- When creating an AppImage, certain libraries must be removed - The script will currently exit when it fails to delete such a library - The script should not exit if such a library was never present
|
Ok, just pushed that commit. |
|
Are you providing an AppImage for download and if so, where? |
|
We do provide AppImages of the latest release at https://sourceforge.net/projects/worldforge/files/Ember%20%28OGRE%20client%29/0.7.2/ We don't currently provide AppImages of the development version, mainly because we don't have a CI server setup. |
|
Thanks for the clarification, so I assume there is no support needed for generating the AppImage :-) |
|
We would be very happy for any help with working on the AppImage generation code. I haven't used it in a while, so I don't know how up to date it is. Presumably there's been developments in AppImage which we haven't kept us up to date with. |
