+#
+# This script is mainly meant to build an 'AppImage' from GitHub sources of QPDF via Travis CI on an
+# Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) LTS system (see https://appimage.org/).
+#
+# But it also allows Linux users to build such an AppImage on their own systems. Please read
+# 'README.md' from the top level Git sources to see what preconditions you must meet to build QPDF
+# in general. The same apply to build an AppImage. Then follow these three steps:
+#
+# 1. Clone Git sources: `git clone https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf.git git.qpdf`
+# 2. Change into git dir: `cd git.qpdf`
+# 3. Run this script: `bash appimage/build-appimage`
+#
+# The resulting AppImage will be placed in './appimage/build/QPDF-x86_64.AppImage'.
+# Read the output of the script for hints in case something goes wrong.
+#
+# You may pass custom options for the configure step by setting them into the 'CUSTOM_CONFIGURE'
+# environment variable and exporting it before running this script. For example:
+#
+# export CUSTOM_CONFIGURE=" --enable-test-compare-images [--more-other-options]"
+#
+# ATTENTION:
+#
+# 1. To build the AppImage you should have a working internet connection.
+# Reason: the script downloads the most recent 'linuxdeployqt' utility for building the AppImage.
+# 2. If you build the AppImage on a too recent Linux distribution, it may only work on the exact
+# distribution you build it on. For an AppImage to work on a wide range of different
+# distributions from the last 3-4 years if should be built on Ubuntu Trusty (14.04).
