(And the path for libgdiplus does not have to be platform agnostic; it only has to be correct on the platform on which the AppImage is built. linuxdeploy takes the library at that path and includes it into the AppImage.)

@zilti gdiplus was in a different place on my machine, which caused me a minute of confusion when it said it couldn't find it. If we use the system version, why not use a quick locate libgdiplus.so | head -n1?

Ah, having no notifications on gist.github.com is annoying... Sure, you can do that, just put it into backticks inside the expression:

./linuxdeploy --appdir=AppDir --custom-apprun=AppRun --desktop-file=ckan.desktop --icon-file=ckan.png -l`locate libgdiplus.so | head -n1` -oappimage
