Feature to install Linux Binarys

Open SaschaVasarrhelyi opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, i wonder why i couldn't install Executable Binarys that are not an .AppImage? I think of Binaries like that "linux_BoilR" https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR/releases/tag/v.1.5.1 that is better for Ubuntu-Mate 22.04LTS then the flatpak version that exists to install via bauh. I tried to install this Binary as .AppImage but that don't work, bauh just start BoilR the way the Binary do start. But i can't get an shortcut or something for this Binary from BoilR (linux_BoilR). To sad because some Programmer do pre-compile there Programs to Linux Binary s that couldn't use in bauh at this Time. I think it would be an good feature if bauh can install/shortcut pre-compiled binary s like BoilR for linux. Then the flatpak installation of BoilR du not handle Lutris right on linux so the binary (linux_BoilR) dose the trick and knows to handle Lutris game list etc.

Hi @SaschaVasarrhelyi . The AppImage importing feature wouldn't work for this scenario. I'll let this issue open as a suggestion.
