Where can I download Latest compiled binaries ? #81

https://xz.tukaani.org/xz-utils/ has this message: Many free software operating systems already provide easy-to-install XZ Utils binaries. It doesn't make sense to provide links to all those here.

I couldn't find even one project that uses XZ Utils binaries. Please give me a link to project where I can download Latest compiled binaries.

Examples: GNU/Linux distributions like Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Slackware, and Ubuntu include XZ Utils. FreeBSD includes XZ Utils in the base system. OpenBSD provides a prebuilt package.

I hope this helps.

If you were looking for binaries for non-free operating systems like Windows, then I don't have a recommendations for up-to-date binaries. The XZ Utils home page has binaries for 5.2.9. I'm hoping to include updated simplified build instructions for Windows in XZ Utils 5.6.0, if I have time.

Thanks. I'm looking for binaries for Windows.

The thought of starting to provide official binaries again has been considered for a while. The package build script etc. have been updated recently and hopefully get merged to master this week. There are some non-technical considerations to decide but there is a possibility (so it's still very uncertain) that XZ Utils 5.6.0 might get a Windows binary package as well.

It's hilarious that you are mentioning a Windows build for version 5.6.0, since the blackdoor added to this version would likely break builds for Windows.

@vectoris You can compile it using vcpkg: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg also on windows: If everything is setup. (for example, you have visual studio installed, and you can also check the readme for more).

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg install liblzma[tools]

This will compile xz library and binaries (tools) from source code on your pc.
