+# build_appimage.sh - Package PE-bear as a self-contained Linux AppImage.

+# Usage:
+#   ./build_appimage.sh                 # Qt6 (recommended)
+#   QT_VARIANT=qt5 ./build_appimage.sh  # Qt5 build
+#   VERSION=0.7.2 ./build_appimage.sh   # override version in output name
+#
+# Build it on the OLDEST glibc you want to support (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04):
+# AppImages are forward-compatible with newer glibc, never backward.
