<h1>AppImage</h1>
<p class="abstract">This page describes building of AppImage binary package.
</p>
<p>
The building process is easy: download the required software
and run <samp>appimage.sh</samp> script.
</p>
<h2>The script</h2>
<p>The shell script</p>
<ul>
<li><samp>dist/appimage.sh</samp></li>
</ul>
<p>
in Munipack source tree is AppImage packager.
</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<p>The software listed below is mandatory for building: </p>
<ul>
<li>Fortran 95 and C++ compilers </li>
<li>GTK3 development libraries</li>
<li>Both make and cmake</li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace">fuse</a>
(<a href="https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE">why?</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>
All the requirements are available in any good Linux distribution.
</p>
<h2>AppImage tools</h2>
<p>
The main utility
<a href="https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit">appimagetool</a>
is left unused. The packaging itself is provided by
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy">linuxdeploy</a>
(<a href="https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage">download</a>)
having
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://github.com/linuxdeploy/awesome-linuxdeploy">module for GTK</a>
(<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh">download</a>).
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In the terminology of AppImage, Munipack is build by
<a href="https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/manual.html">Manual way</a>
into the standard directory tree by
<a href="https://docs.appimage.org/reference/appdir.html">AppDir specification</a>.
</p>
<h2>Source packages</h2>
<p>
These packages are required to build AppImage for Munipack:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://integral.physics.muni.cz/ftp/munipack/">Munipack</a></li>
<li><a href="https://integral.physics.muni.cz/oakleaf">Oakleaf</a></li>
<li><a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/">cFITSIO<a/></li>
<li><a href="https://plplot.sourceforge.net/">PLPLot</a></li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINPACK">Minpack</a>,
available in
<a href="https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/minpack">Debian's
source package<a/> as .tar.gz</li>
<li><a href="https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/">wxWidgets</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Directory structure</h2>
<p>
The building script <samp>dist/appimage.sh</samp> requires the set
of source packages collected into a directory.
The tree structure as it will be referenced below:
</p>
<pre>
appimage/
bin/
src/
</pre>
<p>
<samp>appimage/src/</samp> is the place where
<samp>linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage</samp> and
<samp>linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh</samp> are available.
</p>
<p>
<samp>appimage/src/</samp> is the place where
the source packages are collected.
</p>
<h2>Building</h2>
<p>
The previous steps guaranties to be all requisites are ready. Now, it's
the moment of truth:
</p>
<pre>
$ APPDIR=/path/to/appimage/
$ MUNIPACK=/path/to/munipack-X.Y.Z/
$ PATH=$PATH:$APPDIR/bin sh $MUNIPACK/dist/appimage.sh $APPDIR/src/
</pre>
<p>
If the building process is successful, a new package does appear
in the current working directory. Be patient, it take a while.
</p>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>
A simple launch (by hand in terminal or by click of an icon in a file manager)
invokes <samp>xmunipack</samp> by default.
</p>
<p>
Munipack's command line interface <samp>munipack</samp>
is activated by making the link:
</p>
<pre>
$ ln -s Munipack-x86_64.AppImage munipack
</pre>
<p>It is base on the trick representing <samp>argv[0]</samp>
as the current executable file name.</p>
