Hi there, i want to create an AppImage from Source of the projects DOSBox-X m64p-netplay-server

Trying to read the documentation in : https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/converting-binary-packages/pkg2appimage.html

Looks like just works with debs packages

And trying to read this another doc : https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/from-source/native-binaries.html

I don't understand this example :

# get the source code
> git clone https://github.com/linuxdeploy/QtQuickApp.git
> cd QtQuickApp

# create out-of-source build dir and run qmake to prepare the Makefile
> mkdir build
> cd build
> qmake ..

# build the application on all CPU cores
> make -j$(nproc)

# use make install to prepare the AppDir
> make install INSTALL_ROOT=AppDir

In which moment the AppDir was created ? i specify this example because m64p-netplay-server must be compile against to qmake (qt5.8)

I just need a very specific instructions for example 1 - Download <This Tool> 2 - Create this Directory Structure 3 - Create this basefile.yml 4 - Use the tool (1) this way 5 - change the permissions & Test the generated AppImage.
