#### Simplest example
|
||||
|
||||
Given that a desktop file should be provided with an AppImage, `linuxdeployqt` can use that to determine the parameters of the build.
|
||||
You'll need to provide the basic structure of an `AppDir` which should look something like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
└── usr
|
||||
├── bin
|
||||
│ └── your_app
|
||||
├── lib
|
||||
└── share
|
||||
├── applications
|
||||
│ └── your_app.desktop
|
||||
└── icons
|
||||
└── hicolor
|
||||
└── 256x256
|
||||
└── your_app.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`linuxdeployqt path/to/appdir/usr/share/application_name.desktop`
|
||||
Using the desktop file `linuxdeployqt` can determine the parameters of the build.
|
||||
|
||||
Where the _desktop_ file specifies the executable to be run (with `EXEC=`), the name of the applications and an icon.
|
||||
See [desktop file specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html).
|
||||
Where your desktop file would look something like:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Desktop Entry]
|
||||
Version=1.0
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
Name=Amazing Qt App
|
||||
Comment=The best Qt Application Ever.
|
||||
Exec=your_app
|
||||
Icon=your_app
|
||||
Categories=Office;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Notice that both `Exec` and `Icon` only have file names.
|
||||
* Also Notice that the `Icon` entry does not include an extension.
|
||||
|
||||
Read more about desktop files in the [freedesktop specification here](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can say: `linuxdeployqt path/to/AppDir/usr/share/applications/your_app.desktop`
|
||||

||||
