I have choosen to put it in a seperate subdirectory of cinelerra-5.1, because it is not part of the product (cinGG), and should not be cleared when doing make clean or autogen clean. It normally needs to be built just once. Also, this keeps the possibility open that maybe we need other building tools to help create the product. Then each tool can have its own subdirectory of the tools subdirectory. makeappimage is indeed a derative of linuxdeploy, plugin support removed and build using autotools (like most of CinGG) rather than cmake. Much simpler and easier to understand. MatN
From line 6 of the new bld_appimage.sh it says:
60 # Use own version of linuxdeploy, makeappimage. This should be in 61 # subdirectory tools, if not, go to tools/makeappimagetool and do bld.sh 62 # there. That will place the makeappimage executable in tools, and 63 # then delete all other generated files (except the small log). The tools 64 # directory is not cleared with "make clean" or "autogen.sh clean" Maybe you should correct "subdirectory tools" in "subdirectory cinelerra-5.1"? If you confirm it I'll fix the manual by putting the "our" linuxdeploy (i.e. "makeappimagetool", if I understand correctly) instead of the git one.
