If an application is totally KDE-built or QT-built, is it compatible with AppImage building in non-KDE environments?

Hello,

I want to build an separated application and write it in AppImage, but Karbon is written in KDE and in QT.

I know there is a Krita AppImage, but the problem is that Karbon depends on KDE Plasma 5 environment the collection of Calligra and on some KDE libraries.

I fear that Karbon built in AppImage would not work without depending on Calligra and on KDE Plasma 5. I want Karbon to be independent and to be separated and to hold missed KDE libraries which are exclusive in KDE environment.

if you bundle all KDE and Qt dependencies which your application needs inside the AppImage, then the AppImage will run just fine on non-KDE, non-Qt distributions (like the Krita one does).

Tools like linuxdeployqt or the Qt plugin for linuxdeploy can do most of the work for you.
