Cargo AppImage

This a cargo program that allows you to convert your Rust programs into AppImages.

Installation

1. Make sure that appimagetool is in your path. It can be downloaded from here
2. Install this program with

shell cargo install cargo-appimage

1. cd inside of the root directory of your crate and create an icon called icon.png

   1. Note this can simply be an empty file for development. In fact an empty file is generated if you forget to make one.

2. (optional) create a section in your Cargo.toml similar to the following with any additional assets to add to the AppImg: toml [package.metadata.appimage] assets = ["images", "sounds"]

3. (optional) By default, cargo-appimage will embed all the shared objects your executable uses into the appimage. To not do this, create a section in your Cargo.toml similar to the following with: toml [package.metadata.appimage] link_deps = false

4. run this command

   shell cargo appimage

   1. Note all arguments passed into cargo-appimage are redirected to cargo

   shell cargo appimage --features=min
