8 years ago I find way to use this project on linux and it works.
If you prefer native ports, need to give user turnkey solutions (deb, rpm, pkg, e.t.c...).
At least, create Makefile for manual compiling on UNIX.

8 years ago Thanks - I'm not meaning to dismiss that WINE works or that as a temporary workaround. It's just that if I saw WINE as the recommended solution in a project, I'd assume it relies on Windows APIs - that's not the case here, everything relies on portable APIs.
I don't want other people who might be interested in porting maxcso to come across this and make the same assumption.

8 years ago @darrrk I created a makefile and some instructions: https://github.com/unknownbrackets/maxcso/compare/unix
Unfortunately, 7-zip has problems (as expected), and needs more work. Right now, it hangs. Without 7-zip support, compression will be slightly worse.

8 years ago Cool! Unix users will be more happy now :)

7 years ago I've updated the unix branch:
https://github.com/unknownbrackets/maxcso/tree/unix
It now supports 7-zip's deflate algorithm (typically better than zlib's deflate) - stupid mistake, probably from a function I copied over from p7zip. Works fine now.
Feel free to test and report issues, will release a new version with it merged in a little while.

7 years ago Released as v1.8.0.

With the exception of 7-zip (maybe p7zip would help), nothing in maxcso is tied to Windows.
See here: https://github.com/unknownbrackets/maxcso#platforms
I'd rather avoid recommending WINE. I'm much more interested in a native port, which would probably perform better (I'm not sure how well overlapped IO in libuv translates through WINE to async IO.)
