roquix includes appimage-build-system for repackaging Type 2 AppImages as Guix packages.

• Only Type 2 AppImages are supported.
• The extracted AppDir is installed privately under lib/<name>/.
• The generated wrapper exports APPDIR and executes AppRun.
• The exported .desktop file points to an icon inside the private AppDir.
• The build system does not globally install icon assets, which avoids collisions under share/icons or share/pixmaps.

Use #:patchelf-plan for normal ELF fixups.

• Rewrites the ELF interpreter.
• Adds Guix library directories to RUNPATH.
• Best for shared libraries referenced through normal ELF dependency resolution.
• This is the preferred mechanism when it is sufficient.

Use #:ld-library-path-inputs only as an opt-in wrapper fixup.

• It appends selected input directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the generated launcher.
• Entries use the same shape as the runpath entries in #:patchelf-plan: "mesa" means <input>/lib, and ("nss" "/lib/nss") means a custom subdirectory.
• This is intended for cases where upstream loads libraries later by name, outside normal ELF dependency resolution, for example via dlopen or a library-specific module loader.

• Prefer #:patchelf-plan first.
• Use #:ld-library-path-inputs only when the application still fails to find a runtime-loaded module after RUNPATH has been fixed.
• Do not enable LD_LIBRARY_PATH globally in the build system by default, because it overrides the normal dynamic linker search order and can defeat the intent of RUNPATH fixups.

An AppImage package may need #:ld-library-path-inputs for modules that are loaded later by name rather than through normal ELF NEEDED resolution, such as NSS modules under lib/nss.
