KDE game KBounce

[th108]

Hi,

is there working solution to package KDE games to appimage? I tried many combinations (xenial, jessie, wheezy) (bintray,union) but no luck. For example: KBounce (https://www.kde.org/applications/games/kbounce/)

app: KBounce
union: true

ingredients:
  package: kbounce
  dist: wheezy
  sources:
    - deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib

It launches but crashes if pressed start.

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/user/Public/KBounce.AppDir/libunionpreload.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Have you tried binpatch: true instead of union: true yet?

[th108]

Tried now but it's not working. /bin/bash: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5: undefined symbol: _nc_putchar

looks better... try trusty please.

[th108]

Works with trusty and union. Thank You for your time. Recipe:

app: KBounce
union: true

ingredients:
  package: kbounce
  dist: trusty
  sources: 
   - deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main universe

How large is it? AppImages done in this way are not optimized for size, since all of Qt and many KDE libs are bundled; more than is actually needed for just this app. So if you want to publish this officially, let me know and I'll have a look at using linuxdeployqt.

43M KBounce-x86_64.AppImage doesn't matter size for me, I just dont like installing bunch of KDE libs on GTK system. There's just one problem, menu bar is not showing all properties, it just shows "No Text" as button.

Can you attach a screenshot please?

Now that is strange, never seen that. Do you get any error messages when running the AppImage from the command line?

Not entirely sure, but this looks unrelated to me. @ScarlettGatelyClark, have you ever seem something like this?

[th108]

Don't know if it has something to do with that but to run game I removed -caption %c from kbounce.desktop and symlinked kbounce binary (from /usr/games/ to /usr/bin) otherwise it would not start.

full line from kbounce.desktop: Exec=kbounce.wrapper -caption %c
