Create a console only appimage too

[crash5]

Hi!

I try to use the appimage on a Debian 10.8 server without X window, but it is always complaining about missing files libXt.so.6 and libXcomposite.so.1. (the first file is in the libxt6 package, but for the second file it want to install a lot of gtk and X depentent packages).

Can you provide an appimage without the X/gtk depencencies please?

any conclusion about this ??

no, let me re-open this then

that most likely won't work, if you do not have the libraries installed.

Having a console only version would be nice as you can easily use it on remote boxes where you aren't root

I think we just need to build a separate binary during release, with configure flags --enable-gui=no --with-x=no (need to add these to https://github.com/vim/vim-appimage/blob/master/scripts/build_vim.sh), and from local testing with ldd, this does strip the libXt.so dependency from the binary. Note: Removing X support also removes clipboard support.

I think the question is mostly how many configurations this repository should support? It does sound like a X-less, console-only version would be useful, especially given Applmage's main advantage of not needing permission and can be dropped and run anywhere.

bravo

seems like the new release event is not triggered

yeah, some minor issues with the ci. I think I fixed it now, but now a single test fails :(
