Provide Bluegriffon linux binaries using AppImage about bluegriffon HOT 15 CLOSED

As a proof-of-concept, I have generated an AppImage based on the project's latest Ubuntu .tar.bz2, you can download it from
https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/BlueGriffon/view#files
and the script that generated it can be found at
https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/bluegriffon/Recipe.precompiled

If there is interest, we could also get an automated continuous build going using Travis CI.

Ideally the BlueGriffon project would take over AppImage generation ("upstream packaging") like Scribus, Krita, Subsurface, and others already do.

that works very nicely on my fedora 23 system - I am def in favour of
this for now. An automated nightly build would be fabulous.

Just wanted to note that running the AppImage on Xubuntu 15.04, I receive the following error:

/tmp/.mount_DpHBK9/usr/bin/bluegriffon: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_DpHBK9/usr/bin/bluegriffon)

from bluegriffon.

libstdc++.so.6 3.4.21 is required by the binaries provided by http://bluegriffon.org/freshmeat/2.0b2/bluegriffon-2.0b2.Ubuntu16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2 which I used to put together the example AppImage. Ideally bluegriffon.org would compile the binaries on less recent distributions. or, in case we do the continuous builds, we should use a less recent build system so that there wouldn't be dependencies on such new libstdc++.so.6 versions (e.g., Firefox does the same).

In the meantime we could bundle a newer libstdc++.so.6 inside the AppImage, but that would mean that the AppImage would become bigger than necessary, and it would still depend on glibc 2.17.

Started working on the continuous builds using Travis CI at https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/bluegriffon/Recipe

Running into compilation issues which I cannot seem to solve without help. Unrelated to AppImage itself. Maybe @therealglazou can help?

from bluegriffon.

@probonopd what kind of compilation issues?

from bluegriffon.

First, I get lots of mozbuild.configure.options.InvalidOptionError: Unknown option: messages.
Later, compilation stops with

# c++ -o host_stdc++compat.o -c -std=gnu++0x -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 -MD -MP -MF .deps/host_stdc++compat.o.pp -DNDEBUG=1 -DTRIMMED=1 -DMOZ_LIBSTDCXX_VERSION=197654 -I/media/20c95b94-60bb-42af-807b-0baccadb5f18/home/user/bluegriffon-source/build/unix/stdc++compat -I/media/20c95b94-60bb-42af-807b-0baccadb5f18/home/user/bluegriffon-source/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/build/unix/stdc++compat -I/media/20c95b94-60bb-42af-807b-0baccadb5f18/home/user/bluegriffon-source/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/include -I/media/20c95b94-60bb-42af-807b-0baccadb5f18/home/user/bluegriffon-source/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/include/nspr /media/20c95b94-60bb-42af-807b-0baccadb5f18/home/user/bluegriffon-source/build/unix/stdc++compat/stdc++compat.cpp

#      runtime_error::runtime_error(char const* s)
#     ^

I have written down my experiments on https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/bluegriffon/Recipe and have tried different distributions for building.

Ok, I am at home now and my Linux box is at the office, I'll make sure to give you my mozconfig tomorrow when I arrive at the office.

Great, thank you.

Thanks. Do I have to put something into MOZ_OBJDIR for this to work?

from bluegriffon.

Your choice of dir to host your build.

Why was this closed? I don't think we have an AppImage yet?

from bluegriffon.

Hi @therealglazou would it be possible to have builds like http://bluegriffon.org/freshmeat/3.1/bluegriffon-3.1.Ubuntu18.04-x86_64.tar.bz2 but for the oldest still-supported release of Ubuntu, which is xenial at this time? Then it should be very easy to make an AppImage.
