🦀✨ Rust SoBundle 🎁

Rust SoBundle is a Rust-powered CLI tool that:

• 🔗 Collects all shared library dependencies for your executable
• 🎨 Optionally includes Qt libs
• 🗂️ Wraps everything into an AppDir
• 📦 And bundles it into a self-executing .run installer via makeself!

Your app, all packed up and ready to go — no fuss, no extra config. 😎

---

🚀 What Is It?

Rust SoBundle helps Linux devs create portable applications with ease:

✅ Collects .so dependencies ✅ Supports Qt-based apps ✅ Builds a structured AppDir ✅ Generates a fully executable .run file ✅ No installer frameworks or root permissions needed

---

🧰 Usage

so_bundle -e <executable> [-a <appdir>] [-q <qt-path>] [-b]

🔧 CLI Flags

Flag	Description
-e / --exec	🧠 Required: Path to your main executable
-a / --appdir	📁 Optional: Custom AppDir output path
-q / --qt	🎨 Optional: Include Qt from the given path
-b / --bundle	📦 Optional: Package into a .run file via makeself

---

✨ Example

so_bundle -e ./my_app -q /usr/lib/qt6 -b

This will:

1. 📦 Collect all shared libs needed by my_app
2. 🧩 Add Qt libraries (if provided)
3. 🗂️ Create a portable AppDir
4. 🎁 Generate if needed my_app.run – a self-extracting, self-executing bundle

✅ Just distribute my_app.run — users can execute it immediately:

./my_app.run

No chmod, no extra steps, just run and go! 🏃‍♀️💨

---

🧾 Output

• 🗂️ my_app.AppDir/ → Contains your app and its dependencies
• 🎁 my_app.run → A self-executing, makeself-packed archive
