#
3+
# This file provides a CMake function "build_appimage"
4+
# that uses linuxdeploy to create an AppImage from
5+
# a given executable, desktop file, and icon.
6+
#
7+
# Usage:
8+
# build_appimage(
9+
# APP_NAME "MyApp"
10+
# APP_VERSION "1.0.0"
11+
# EXECUTABLE "/path/to/MyApp"
12+
# ICON "/path/to/myapp.png"
13+
# DESKTOP_NAME "myapp.desktop" # optional
14+
# DESKTOP_CATEGORIES "Utility;" # optional
15+
# APP_ARCH "aarch64" # optional (default x86_64)
16+
# )
17+
#
18+
# Note on cross-compilation:
19+
# If you specify APP_ARCH != the host architecture,
20+
# make sure you have:
21+
# 1) A cross-compiled executable (ELF for the target arch).
22+
# 2) linuxdeploy-<ARCH>.AppImage for that target.
23+
# 3) A suitable environment (QEMU / Docker / etc.) so that
24+
# linuxdeploy can run and detect libraries.
