Thanks, I have seen that image. But the requirements for an AppImage 
builder image are a bit different. When building AppImages we want a 
base distribution that is as old as possible, but still supported with 
security updates. This way we maximize glibc compatibility.

Currently I'm using Ubuntu Xenial as a base, but I was actually thinking 
of switching to CentOs7 at some point.

Right now, I still have problems building the dependencies. Had to fix a 
few cmake issues here and there, but I didn't manage to get a successful 
build of all the external dependencies yet.

All the Best
