Hi @andrsd and @janrysavy

Any plans to release binary?

michal-ruzicka commented 8 months ago

I am very interested, too: Is there any plan for development and releases, or was the source code just made open source by the original authors who do not have development capacities? Is it up to the community to cope with that somehow?

andrsd commented 8 months ago

I was able to successfully build the Salamander binary using a github workflow. The changes are sitting in my fork. I know that @janrysavy is planning on using my work for testing purposes.

This work can also be used for creating a final release that would be available to users for downloading. IDK what is the plan here, but it would make sense to me to use the github release capability exactly for such a purpose.

It would also really be neat, if native Linux binaries would be provided; at least in an AppImage or something.

Salamander is Windows only application.

Salamander is not our job within Fine, but that doesn't mean that we are no longer interested in it. We use it every day, Unicode or Dark Mode support would be great. We believe that there will be a community around Open Salamander that will be able to develop Salamander further. We will support such initiative in our spare time.

Please keep this issue on topic.

Regarding binary release: do you think that nightly builds without code sign certificate would be enough for now?

manison commented 8 months ago

I think nightly builds would be fine for start.

We all wish for that. Looking at the code just now, it seems it uses Windows UI APIs a lot. Porting will be a big challenge. One thing we can do is try to see why "Wine" or other emulators crash and make them work with Windows OpenSalamander as a first step.
