HI Emmanuele,
I would be very interested to hear your further comments on desktop
applications not working well with Docker. Can you elaborate on where and
why Docker doesn't really work for this?

Docker containers do not really work for desktop applications as well
as they work for server applications.
An attempt at containerisation is Flatpak, which follows the Open
Container Initiative like Docker, but it's aimed at desktop
applications.
Ciao,

You cannot simply ship a single file; at most, you can bundle all the
dependencies together and then use a launcher script to set up the
whole environment, but I would not recommend it.
You should probably look at Flatpak, instead: http://flatpak.org/
Flatpak solved the issue of building and
Thanks guys, these suggestions give me something to work on. Regards Ian.'

you will never worry about having to satisfy run-time dependencies on the
target platform ever again. well, everything except needing a docker
engine, that is.

Gtk3 portability
Hi, I have made a Linux gtk3 program and have it running on my Debian
Mint AMD64 machine.
I mistakenly thought that the program file (binary file) held all that
was needed to run.
I moved the program file to a newly installed Mint 18.1 and ran into a
few difficulties.
