Title: AppImage generation for Linux
Post by: christo on June 13, 2026, 01:37:17 pm
 AppImage (https://appimage.org/) is a popular format for software bundling. I'm able to generated C::B AppImage with minimal host dependency via github action.

I think it is a good idea to distribute our releases in AppImage format also, as it can be used on many distros.

There are additional configuration options required - to use bundled software if present and to use static wxwidgets. Those are added to svn.
