Hi,

Maybe “TARGET NOT found” is CMake’s original way of saying that you’re
missing a dependency (libsquashfuse), no?

BTW, since your ultimate goal is to have ‘guix pack -f appimage’, you
could look at the AppImage spec.  It might be that you can do the heavy
lifting of creating a file in that format without resorting to
AppImageKit.

HTH,
Ludo’.
