Releases

[Oscar Gonzalez]

Hello, I've been searching for Krusader release information. Can anyone tell me about the state of the project?

Why is not a release from 2012?

I have not managed to compile git version. 

Does anyone know if I can get precompiled dev builds?

Thanks in advance,

Oscar

Hi,

We have planned to release a new version all those 4 years. But some kind of fate stopped us every time. ;) 

Now we are discussing features and bug that should be fixed before the release in krusader-devel group (you can join the discussion, for sure).

The new version (now in git/master) is for KF5. Compiles successfully on relatively new platforms (here, on Mageia 5, I can give a list of commands that I use for this if it's needed), but can be problematic on systems without KF5 packages. No precompiled official packages crated so far. Sorry.

Best regards,

Yuri

Thanks Yuri for the quick response... ;-)

Just a few impressions if it can help anyone (sorry for my english):

Now I'm working with Mint 17. I'm a very happy user of Total Commander and Krusader, and I'm anxious about a new Krusader version. 

My main problems with Krusader (not very important) are with some operations that lose the focus and keep me clicking again and again with the mouse to get the focus back.

I've tried to download GIT version and build it, but I find it very difficult. I am an experienced developer in other platforms, and I will be glad if you can send me build instructions (or update the instructions in the web if it are wrong).

Thanks in advance, I find Krusader a very good project, but I've find a little "hard" the overall user experience with the web. I think that a little more info in the web would help users to see that the project is alive and kicking... :-)

Gook work!

The up-to-date instructions are in INSTALL file of git/master clone.

In essential,

1. Install the following packages:
- libkf5parts-dev
- libkf5wallet-dev
- libkf5xmlgui-dev
- kdoctools-dev

(and their dependencies) using packager manager.

2. Install suggested packages (if they are needed) from INSTALL list.

3. Enter the following commands from the clone folder (without "$"):

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
$ make -j3
$ sudo make install/strip
