s there a .SlackBuild for texstudio?

Apparently not: https://slackbuilds.org/result/?search= ... io&sv=15.0

But there is, it is for version 4.0.2 so you have to slightly edit the .SlackBuild

When it comes to the dependencies, that is a different matter but you could try compiling texstudio 4.6.3 using GLibC of 2.35, and then solve the dependencies from a binary that would work in your system, but needs "only" its dependencies satisfied.

(In rare occasions a newer version of a program will not so easily compile under an older GLibC, but for now presume it would compile okay)

Sorry I could not do the compile for you as I am currently too busy with RL.

hi Texstudio is a free LaTeX editor that integrates many
tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX in just
one application.
the slackbuild exist for 4.0.2 version and also in slackfinder: https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/index.p ... e=#results

LaTex is the best when it comes to document creation, you can put all and any office suites into the recycling bin compared to any text created by LaTex, quality wise.

Anyhow, since the harddrive is currently unavailable where I downloaded the files back in last year I try the download once more via https://mega.nz/folder/2oFFySLa#3YQMn9Xp105B7Y8PuZ1e7w (link is on page 4 of this thread)

Rava, congratulations! I've updated texstudio to the latest version at the same link https://mega.nz/folder/2oFFySLa#3YQMn9Xp105B7Y8PuZ1e7w. And just to reiterate, poppler and xcb libs are also bundled in the qpdfview module. (I've also updated the wine module and uploaded an evince module in my "repository" at the link)

but the site freezes with this

Of course I allowed JavaScript and reloaded the site. And https://mega.nz/ used to always work with Palemoon, but I presume it's my first time with the most recent version attempting to access mega.nz

trying to upgrade my texstudio to the latest 4.6.3. Unfortunately https://www.texstudio.org/ doesn't provide a compatible binary anymore

Actually they do provide AppImage here https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/releases/
AppImage isn't that different from a Porteus (bundle) module:

AppImage consists of two parts: a runtime and a file system image. For the current type 2, the file system in use is SquashFS

... and a Porteus module is a SquashFS image too only (optionally) mounted as an aufs union for changes. So both Porteus xzm and AppImage runtime provide their own thin layers on top of SquashFS, otherwise they should be the same in terms of performance.

Although AppImage appear significantly larger than a native xzm module, practically I haven't noticed much loading time difference. Probably because texstudio xzm although small loads from other xzms anyway such that the Qt5 runtime etc.

Therefore we could just use the https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstu ... 4.AppImage perhaps after some integration into the Start menu, i.e., a .desktop file and an icon.

Another option I'm investigating now is to use Ubuntu development snapshots provided here https://launchpad.net/~sunderme/+archiv ... /+packages
for example https://launchpad.net/~sunderme/+archiv ... d/26770612
and https://launchpad.net/~sunderme/+archiv ... _amd64.deb

Update. Indeed, converting that .deb into xzm (77MB full of junk?) and getting just one small missing dependency libquazip5-1_0.9.1-3.xzm now allows me to run a development version 4.7.0 of texstudio. Not that I wanted an alpha version and am still undecided between this and an AppImage, but here we have two ways of updating texstudio for now. The AppImage loads faster on my system: 13 seconds vs. 15 when I use whichever xzm module.

(Good to know too that Ubuntu23 is compatible with Porteus in terms of GLIBC and GLIBCXX, and Qt5.)

How did you solve the texstudio-4.6.3-x86_64.AppImage dependencies :

Indeed.

Am I late? I've already tested it. Didn't knew you people are into LaTeX too.......

I'll try uploading soon.

There is one. Easy to know if there is with spman:
spman; a package manager for porteus 5.0, very interesting

Is poppler-compat-23.09.0-x86_64-1alien the development package spman demands or just a package that delivers libraries?

[rych]

I have found where J. Sundermeyer (Thank you, J.) puts all his ubuntu texstudio .deb builds: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/sunder ... texstudio/

So the update algorithm is simply to choose a (latest) .deb version from his list and convert it to xzm. For example, I got myself a 77MB texstudio_4.7.0-0~202310140722~ubuntu23.04.1_amd64.xzm. The reason it's so large is because it includes all the dictionaries and such for so many languages, along with help images -- etc., resources in one word. The binary itself is "only" 24MB.

With regards to dependencies, apart from the obvious Qt5 base, on my system I only needed to add these two: hunspell-1.7.0-x86_64-1.xzm and libquazip5-1_0.9.1-x86_64.xzm

I've uploaded them in the LaTeX subforum of the Porteus eXchange Telegram group: https://t.me/PorteusX

Alternatively, the qpdfview-qt5-0.5.0-x86_64-openbox.xzm from qpdfview (Post by ncmprhnsbl #96288) includes a sufficient poppler

I've uploaded them in the LaTeX subforum of the Porteus eXchange Telegram group: https://t.me/PorteusX

Can I access that outside of Telegram?
https://t.me/PorteusX only displays this (with JavaSript enabled):

and the link is not working:
tg://resolve?domain=PorteusX

The address wasn’t understood
Pale Moon doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (tg) isn't associated with any program.
You might need to install other software to open this address.

and the "Download" link in the top right corner is about downloading Telegram.
My old telegram-3.2.4-x86_64-1ponce.xzm is still working? (Found it in my 5.0rc3 folder!)

But how can I use Telegram anonymously?

[beny]

with firefox work, but you have to use the qr code for create a desktop link with the telegram phone app
