AppImage build fails on Docker when appimagetool is installed system-wide #517

Closed Megver83 closed 2 years ago

Megver83 commented 2 years ago

I tried to build an AppImage with the appimagecrafters/appimage-builder Docker image and pkg2appimage failed because it tried to move a non-existing local appimagetool binary. This happened because functions.sh didn't consider that it could run on docker and have a system-wide installation of appimagetool. I ended up using this patch to fix the issue.

Hello @Megver83. pkg2appimage and appimage-builder are separate tools made for different use cases. They are not meant to be used together.

What would be the benefit of using both of them at the same time?
