Wot no IUP?
It looks like an AppImage is its own, secure, bubble.
I don't think an external program can "look into" this bubble. It is possible to mount an appimage so someone can examine its contents--that is not a solution for using an appimage.
That means I can not "include" anything from inside the bubble into a program; for example "include builtins/regex.e" does not work. Because phix has lots of autoincludes, the initial impression of phix as an appimage is great.
To get iup to work you would have to make iup an autoinclude; dito for regex.e
Creating an all-inclusive autoinclude would be interesting--I am looking forward to it.
be well
