Where does linuxdeployqt.AppImage come from? about packer

[probonopd]

The latest version can always be downloaded from https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases/tag/continuous.

@probonopd Thanks for writing linuxdeployqt. It really helped in simplifying packaging process for linux 😄

closing this as packer now downloads it if required automatically

Happens to me too on linux mint, got some errors about permissions, so i think it just doesnt download because of that, solved the same way...

No its not intended :/ . Seems like a bug.

I got the following:

running linuxdeployqt
Warning: Tried to fix permission for linuxdeployqt but failed
events.js:180
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn /home/einar/Projects/react-nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/linuxdeployqt.AppImage ENOENT

  path: '/home/einar/Projects/react-nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/linuxdeployqt.AppImage',
  spawnargs: [
    'qode',
    '-verbose=2',
    '-unsupported-bundle-everything',
    '-appimage',
    '-qmake=/home/einar/Projects/react-nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/qmake'
  ]
}

So what I had to do was to go into node_modules/@nodegui/qode/dist/1.0.6/bin/ and rename linuxdeployqt to linuxdeployqt.AppImage. Then it worked.
