How to deploy app from Mac to Linux (with Browser widget) ?

I've made a little utility that's been working for me on Mac (actually I've
just been running it in the IDE). I wanted to share it with a colleague who
uses Linux, so I selected Mac, Windows, Linux in the standalone settings,
selected "auto-detect" for inclusions, built it.
Tested the standalone Mac app on my computer, works fine.
Zipped up the Linux64 package, sent my colleague the zip. She said "something
froze and i cannot close it".
Two questions:
- do I need to do something special to package up the Linux app before sending
it? Does my colleague need to do something special to install/run it? She's
using "5.4.0-80-generic #90-Ubuntu".
- this uses the browser widget. I've seen something on the list about will we
ever get CEF browser on Linux - but the widget was listed as for linux in the
Standalone Builder, and indeed a folder "CEF" is the bulk of the "Externals"
folder that the Standalone Builder created. So I'm guessing that was an
historical problem.
Please enlighten me!
TIA,
Ben
