Setup Travis CI for autobuild AppImage (portable package for Linux) #23

When Linux support will be added?

mrozigor commented 6 years ago

You can compile current version on linux. Only problems are missing libX11 and libdl (at least at my OS).

um, it works on linux for few months already

Oh, cool! Then lets setup Travis-CI (using file .travis.yml in the root of master branch) for producing AppImage-package (that is portable binary for near all Linux-based distros)

@probonopd, are you like train games? Lets make Maszyna-*.AppImage for all Linux gamers! ;-)

I have mixed experiences with AppImage. I had greater success with statically linking glfw, glew, libsndfile, libpng etc. and dynamically linked libx11/wayland, libgl, libopenal and glibc linked to old symbol names (using glibc_version_header). Then we would have four universal binaries: x86/x86-64 and wayland/x11 (as glfw can't select backend at runtime). I plan to do it sometime, but of course if somebody does it before either using static/dynamic mix or gets AppImage to work I'm happy to accept PRs.

Hi @Symbian9 do you want to give it a try using the example at https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/#using-linuxdeployqt-with-travis-ci? I'm happy to help in case you are running into unforeseen issues. But I think you should give it a try yourself...

There is even a description on how to send a pull request: https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/#sending-pull-requests-on-github
