Original Pull Request: https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor/pull/1879

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary

Rewrites the AppImage build script and adds a CI workflow to automatically build AppImages on releases.

Build Variants (matching Docker)

minimal: Basic CCExtractor without OCR (smallest size, ~14MB)
ocr: CCExtractor with OCR support (default)
hardsubx: CCExtractor with burned-in subtitle extraction (OCR + FFmpeg)

Changes to `linux/build_appimage.sh`

Add BUILD_TYPE environment variable to select variant
Fix CMake options (was incorrectly passing ENABLE_OCR=yes to make instead of -DWITH_OCR=ON to cmake)
Bundle tessdata for OCR builds with wrapper script that sets TESSDATA_PREFIX
Create proper desktop file and icon handling
Improve error handling and cleanup

New CI Workflow `.github/workflows/build_appimage.yml`

Builds all three variants on release
Uploads AppImages as release assets automatically
Can be manually triggered for specific variants
Caches GPAC build for faster CI runs

Usage

./build_appimage.sh              # Builds 'ocr' variant (default)
BUILD_TYPE=minimal ./build_appimage.sh
BUILD_TYPE=hardsubx ./build_appimage.sh

Testing

Tested locally - minimal variant builds successfully and runs:

$ ./ccextractor-minimal-x86_64.AppImage --version
CCExtractor detailed version info
    Version: 0.95
    ...

Closes #1348
