Hello all.

I wanted to ask you what are the current ways to distribute a U++ application as a binary, especially on Linux.
The less knowledge the user needs to have, the better.

Hi Koldo,

Maybe you wish to take a look at AppImage:

https://appimage.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage

Actually, it would be nice to have TheIDE creating AppImages some day...

Best regards,

Tom

Hi,

I've done some tests with AppImage, it works, but it's just a simple container. Nothing more.
My quick tutorial is here: https://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=122 00&start=0&

The AppImage tools don't tell you what libs to pack with your application to make it portable.
So the most tedious task - testing whether your application works on different distributions - still needs to be done somehow.
On ubuntu 24.04 you also need to install libfuse2.

First chapter

First thing has been to follow this recommendation: "The binaries contained in the AppImage need to be compiled on a system not newer than the oldest base system that the AppImage is intended to run on."

I have struggled as much as I could to install U++ on Ubuntu 18.04, but without success, due to libcrypto first and Glibc later... This has been too difficult.
Finally I tried Ubuntu 20.04, and U++ was installed on the first try.

Now I will continue with the next chapters...

Best regards
Iñaki
