Salva,

Thank so much! I think you submit as a patch under your name. The text
looks pretty good to me.

For a non-computer-savvy diver this is a pretty formidable process to
follow. Would it not make sense to build this as an AppImage that could
be downloaded separately from the Subsurface web site? So this diver
only needs to worry to download the code, not about configuring, fixing
dependencies and building it? There would be minimal maintenance
required on the AppImage because it would include all the dependencies.
How much work would be involved to turn this into an AppImage?

Of course there is another problem. Most of the Scubapro users are
likely to be Win-based. Is there currently a useful route for a
Win-based user?

Kind regards,
