Make appimagetool use zstd #1273

Closed probonopd closed 1 year ago

probonopd commented 1 year ago

In anticipation of using https://github.com/AppImage/type2-runtime and

https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/issues/34

use zstd as the default compression in appiamgetool.

Still getting

Generating squashfs...
/tmp/AppImageKit-build-8aSFXR/install-prefix/usr/bin/../lib/appimagekit/mksquashfs: Compressor "" is not supported!
/tmp/AppImageKit-build-8aSFXR/install-prefix/usr/bin/../lib/appimagekit/mksquashfs: Compressors available:
    gzip (default)
    xz

I guess I need the help of @TheAssassin to get CMake to build mksquashfs with zstd; most likely

https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/blob/probonopd-zstd/cmake/dependencies.cmake

needs to be changed?

Fixing this PR right now.

Closing this PR since appimagetool will get its own repository.
