Closing this as OP’s (and hopefully all the others’) issues are resolved and a catch all issue is not really helpful considering that this error message can be caused by many different root causes.

In general in case anyone sees this error message and none of the messages here help them. Please re-run it with the --verbose flag and open a new issue with the logs. Thank you.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libavif.so.16 /usr/lib/libavif.so.15

@yozachar You have installed the latest version, which only contains .so.16. See package content here. I found that symlinking both old libraries to their respective newer versions works, but it’s probably not and ideal solution.

Symlinking works, thanks! Yeah that’s true.

For those looking to temporally disable AppImage build you can change "targets": "all" in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json file to:

"targets": ["deb", "nsis", "msi", "app", "dmg", "updater"],

I also got the same error message “Error failed to bundle project: error running appimage.sh”. but the reason might be different. the content https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tauri-apps/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh is blocked by the GWT and failed to build the appImage. below is the log and testing I did.

Is it possible to move the dependant scripts be moved into a Rust crate instead of getting them from internet runtime and show explicit error message instead of a general error message?

@larryteal if you use npm there needs to be an extra -- like this npm run tauri build -- --verbose

Thank You @FabianLars . npm run tauri build -- --verbose working.

Same error, may related to this: failed to create symbolic link ‘tauri-app.png’: File exists

When I commented out the ln commands in target/release/bundle/appimage/build_appimage.sh, it succeeded, but fails the next time I run the build.

The -f might help?

ln -s -f “usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256@2/apps/tauri-app.png” “tauri-app.png” ln -s -f “usr/share/applications/tauri-app.desktop” “tauri-app.desktop”

Please re-run it with the verbose flag; pnpm tauri build --verbose Hopefully we get more helpful output then.

Hello, thanks for your help, i might know what’s causing the problem: Incomplete file download for linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage .
