[Request] xwadtools software/dependencies for OS/flatpak/flathub repositories #1

Hello Udo Munk or xwadtools maintainers,

SLADE doom editor has dropped support of flatpak/flathub repository in favor for AppImage. While the single file executable sounds fine on paper, there are plenty of dependencies missing in OS repositories.

I hope that xwadtools can pick up the pace to support doom modders on Linux/BSD. Not everyone have dependencies for it/them. For instance, I asked for xforms dependencies, but received .rmp archive packages. I tried compiling source from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libforms/1.2.3-1.7build1, but I needed other dependencies like libXpm and xpm.h. The loop goes on and on. Of course, instructions to compile the necessary source code is welcome.

Yes, I can go for Wine, but it will be slow going.
I am also interested in XForms toolkit as a minimal GUI toolkit. xwadtools can be an prime example.
You can use this URL address https://github.com/Doom-Utils/xwadtools/releases, to include different versions and keep track of change logs.
