Allow building using system libappimage #1165
Description
Many distros have libappimage https://repology.org/project/libappimage/versions
They expect that an AppImageKit build on their build farms will use their existing libappimage package, similar to how USE_SYSTEM_MKSQUASHFS works here.
Obviously they are then responsible for making sure their libappimage and other deps are appropriately patched until all relevant patches are upstreamed , i.e. #815

This would be interesting to me! Currently the repo can not be built without checking out the git submodules.
Previously I tried to build this as a third-party dependency in Bazel using http_archive (Which downloads the code archives automatically generated by GitHub - which do not include submodules) and rules_foreign_cc / CMake. This fails because the archive does not contain the CMakeLists.txt being included to build libappimage.
If
USE_SYSTEM_MKSQUASHFSwas implemented I could first build libappimage separately and then provide it to the build for appimagetool 👍Remove libappimage git submodule
