  OS:            Linux 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop x86_64

libglib and libfuse are installed, both the 64bit and the 32bit version
also the devel packages are installed

how i can fix this problem, i want to create portable apps

and just a second question: can i pack 64bit apps to have portable 64bit apps??

From the error message above, you are missing /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so and /usr/lib/libfuse.so - you need to install those with your distribution's package manager. (Or you could use an Ubuntu Live CD; this is what I use.)

I just tried to compile AppImageKit on a 64-bit system; it went without major issues (some things to watch out for are commented below):

# replace these with 64-bit versions
cp $(which xorriso) $(which elfres) $(which elficon) ./AppImageAssistant.appdir/usr/bin/

# Compile
make clean ; make


We now have a 64-bit version of AppImageAssistant and of AppRun, you can use these two files to produce 64-bit AppImages.

Once I have an ARM machine, I will try it there too

[ike]

running oneiric, was able to find some oneiric dependencies elsewhere that allowed me to install the maverick elfres, but when it came down to it i couldn't compile. i'm going to find a maverick cd and install on a harddrive to try that.

[ike]

well installed maverick, compiled fine on 64-bit, now i'll start playing around with some packages.

Hi probono. With the instructions below I was able to compile AppImageKit-9 and AppImageKit-10 in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) 64-bit.

The problem is that the AppImageAssistant built with AppImageKit-10 gives me Segmentation Faults.
If I try to run the AppDir instead from AppImageAssistant.appDir/AppRun it works OK. But the generated AppImages (of the program I'm trying to make portable) also throw Segmentation Faults.

That's not the case with AppImageAssistant built with AppImageKit-9. But the problem with AppImageKit-9 is that apparently does not create the ".thumbnails/normal" path if it doesn't exist to store the binary icon cached. This issue seems to be fixed in AppImageKit-10.

I compared both AppImageKit directories and found the following differences:

AppImageKit.png (10.88 KiB) Viewed 2432 times

AppImageKit-runtime.c.png (38.11 KiB) Viewed 2432 times

AppImageKit-install-dependencies.sh.png (22.03 KiB) Viewed 2432 times

Can you or someone else please give me an idea of what's wrong?

Thanks,

Chulai

BTW, I have successfully created 32-bit and 64-bit AppImages of GoldenDict program: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=311

[probono]

I would suspect the issue is around the "open destination file" code in runtime.c

I can confirm the issue:

Great! Are you planning to provide a fix for this?
Thanks

I have 64 bit Precise; I have tried to compile AppImageKit with probono's guide for maverick: I had to add manually the ppa and edit libr0's DEBIAN/control because it had dependencies problems. I also had to copy fuse.h from kernel headers to AppImageKit-10. I've runned make and this is the output:

P.S.: Why don't you send us the directory after running make? I don't need the source, I can't program C...

I have created a 64-bit version of AppImageAssistant. You can get it from http://www.mediafire.com/?acqdybjuad1qm94
This is AppImageAssistant-0.9.1 (made with AppImageKit-9). It works but it has the issue I mentioned above with the thumbnail files.
AppImageAssistant-0.9.2 (made with AppImageKit-10) fixed that issue but it's giving me Segmentation Faults so I could not use it. I als reported that issue above.
