Packaging on linux is hard IMO. There are too many ways doing that. Maybe I just add an .appimg - should be easy for icy* because rust links statically.

Ah I see - I merged my repos and build instructions were birried in icy_term docs. Moved them where they belong to.

Install rust toolchain: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
"cargo build"
It'll tell you what's missing.

On the build server I use 
"apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev libasound2-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev"

But not sure if all are still required.
