Tool to create an AppImage executable from an Alire crate

#utility #appimage #alire #linux #packaging

There are two prerequisites for your project to work with this tool:

  • It has to be an Alire crate with an executables field. Its first value has to be the main application program. Otherwise, the executable program can be specified on the command line.
  • It must be installable using Alire, including all the needed resources.

alr2appimage will use the following command for installing it (this requires Alire 2.0):

alr install

Or it will run gprinstall inside alr exec, if the former fails (Alire 1.x).

If you simply run the tool inside an Alire crate, it will read the metadata from your alire.toml file and create a default AppImage from it.

NOTE: alr2appimage is an independent project; it is not affiliated to, nor supported by, the Alire or AppImage projects.
