## About this AppImage-Runtime

This runtime is based on the [AppImageKit](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit)

[src/runtime.c](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/blob/master/src/runtime.c)

with a few extensions:

☑  All libraries except libc, libdl, libpthread are statically linked, in particular the libraries for SquashFs and FUSE.

☑  All compression formats supported by SquashFs are included in the `runtime` binary.

☑  A smaller `runtime-zstd` variant is provided that can only uncompress zstd SquashFs images.

## Usage

Clone this project on Linux and run `make`.

As described in the original

[AppImageKit README](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/blob/master/README.md#user-content-appimagetool-usage),

to build an AppImage, append a SquashFs image with an `/AppRun` executable to the runtime executable `appimage-runtime` or

`appimage-runtime-zstd` to form a packed [AppImage executable](https://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-run-an-appimage/80).

```sh

mksquashfs Package.appdir/ appdir.sqfs -root-owned -noappend -no-exports \

		-noI -b 1048576 -comp zstd -Xcompression-level 22

cat appimage-runtime-zstd appdir.sqfs > Package.AppImage

chmod +x Package.AppImage

```
