AppImage

[ghost]

Hi, I REALLY like FLTK apps 😄
It would be really nice to have an AppImage of this available for people on various distros to simply try out (I am sure it would be quite small) and then decide if they want to build it or nominate it to make it into some distro.

I'm completely unfamiliar with AppImage (as well as its competitors), I can't even run them. So, contribution welcome, if someone builds one, I can link to it.

To run an AppImage:

To generate an AppImage:

Using linuxdeployqt might be the easiest route here. You can practically almost copy the example.

Thanks, but I don't run Ubuntu, and I would be unable to test any appimages generated. Sure, I could play with VMs, but I'm not interested enough to spend that time.

Thanks, but I don't run Ubuntu

For the sake of completeness, this works similarly on other distributions as well.
