OK i created the pull request here:
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImages/pull/328
After the proposed changes will get merged the following procedure:
Code: Select all
mkdir AppImage
cd AppImage
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AppImage/AppImages/master/pkg2appimage
bash ./pkg2appimage FreeCAD-0.16
bash ./pkg2appimage FreeCAD
bash ./pkg2appimage FreeCAD-Daily
Should when completed produce 3 AppImages in the ./out folder. All 3 AppImages should:
- Ask for desktop integration when run
- Provide importable SciPy, NumPy and Matplotlib modules
- Have LAPACK and BLAS fix applied
- Shouldn't have libfontconfig issue
- ...
Desktop integration for FreeCAD (0.17) AppImage (when enabled) provides things like launcher, icon and file association support (without using the appimaged). Therefore after the PR will get merged FreeCAD 0.17 backport release AppImage can be provided ASAP. As for FreeCAD-0.16 backport release. Icon is still missing ATM. When enabling the desktop integration. The same happens with FreeCAD-Daily. I reported in the PR what i believe is contributing to the issue. Best to wait with FreeCAD-0.16 AppImage until things settle first. As for Travis i will change the recipe (as it got renamed) after PR is merged.
