This Linux Deployment Tool for Qt, `linuxdeployqt` , takes an application as input and makes it self-contained by copying in the Qt libraries and plugins that the application uses into a bundle. This can optionally be put into an [AppImage ](http://appimage.org/ ), and, using [fpm ](https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/issues/9 ), into cross-distro deb and rpm packages.
