It looks like the switch --output has been removed #12

If so, please update the readme.

Thanks.

You got this wrong. This is mainly a plugin for linuxdeploy. You can call linuxdeploy [...] --output appimage to make linuxdeploy call this plugin.

This plugin is, like all linuxdeploy plugins, controlled through environment variables. There is, and always has been, $OUTPUT, which you can set to your desired filename.

I do not understand, are we talking about this app:

https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/blob/master/tools/linuxdeployqt/main.cpp

./linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage [...] --output appimage

Because it fails in Travis, and I do not see that switch in main.cpp.

Thanks

You have to download this module and enable it as a plugin first, that is where I am going wrong, can you post an example that works or the link below, to make it easier for people like me.

The link official AppImage packaging guide. has a 404 error.

https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/native-binaries.html

is now

Update: Found this: https://github.com/linuxdeploy/QtQuickApp/

Thanks, I was thinking this was built into LinuxDeployQt, and not as a plugin, my bad.

Sorry about this looks like I am getting confused between probonopd and linuxdeploy repos, I did not notice my mistake till now, old age, the first thing to go is the eyes, the second it the mind, or is that already gone...
