[Gambas-user] Initial support for making AppImage

[Linus]

Hello,

‘appimage-builder’ is a Pyhton3 script so to install it on Fedora and other I proceeded like that:


Into you user account:

     python3 -m pip install appimage-builder

Now I’m testing if it’s enough to produce an appimage from Gambas IDE on Fedora 37
