Please provide AppImage for download on GitHub Releases about frequest HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi!

It is already there. See the FRequest11c_linux.zip file. Inside of it you have the app image.

Regards.

from frequest.

Please DO NOT put an AppImage into another archive like a .zip or .tar.gz. Please see https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Creating-AppImages#common-mistake for the reasons.

I would like to add it to https://appimage.github.io/ but that only works if it is not zipped.

Thank you.

from frequest.

I will have a look at the documentation that you posted. I didn't know that we weren't allowed to zip the app images.

I have replaced the zip with the app image renamed, hopefully that is fine.

Let me know if everything is alright now.

Regards.

from frequest.

Thanks for providing an AppImage.

However, our automated test is running into:

AppRun: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /run/firejail/appimage/.appimage-10363/AppRun)

Please see https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Creating-AppImages#libstdcso6

from frequest.

So seems that we need to support Ubuntu 14.04?

I think it is possible for the users that really want to run the program in these older versions upgrade the libstdc++ to 3.4.21? Using something like this?

The thing is to support these old systems I would need to change my entire linux environment (probably downgrading from 18.04.1 to 14.04), so I have no plans to do that for now. I will only support 18.04.1 and onwards.

If the users want they also have the option to build from the source (instead of upgrading libstdc++).

I know that this decision probably means that FRequest can't be added to https://appimage.github.io/ (at least for now), but thanks for all the input and help on this topic. I think we can add it later in the future.

OK, if you like to have it added to https://appimage.github.io/ please ping me once Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported. Thanks.

from frequest.

Thanks! Sure I will do.

I don't know if it will help, but I'm running Linux Mint LMDE 3 “Cindy”, and when running the AppImage, I get this:

$ ./FRequest11c_linux.AppImage
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

@danipardo
I have seen that error is some distributions that I have tried. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that.

@probonopd
Could the problem be related with the build being done in Ubuntu 18.04.1 x64 instead of an older version?

Definitely.

@probonopd Can you check if the program can now be added?

from frequest.

Closing as this issue is too old. This could be checked in the future.
