Request for ARM Linux version

[Cluster]

Hello!

First of all, thank you for developing XnView — it's a fantastic and very useful application.

I would like to ask if it would be possible to provide a version of XnView for ARM Linux. ARM-based devices are becoming increasingly common, especially with platforms such as Raspberry Pi, portable Linux computers, gaming consoles, and various single-board computers.

Many of these devices run standard Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, etc.), but currently there are very few good image viewers available for ARM systems. XnView would be extremely useful in this ecosystem.

Typical ARM Linux devices include:

• Raspberry Pi and similar SBCs
• portable Linux computers (for example uConsole and similar devices)
• ARM-based gaming consoles
• various embedded and low-power Linux systems

Since Linux on ARM is growing quickly, having an official ARM build of XnView would be very valuable for this community.

Thank you for considering this request!

Oh... There is no information that it's Linux ARM64 version. Thank you!

Hello

and thanks for an ARM version of XnView_MP. Running several Linux devices, XnView has become a favorite image management tool. XnView_MP works fine on Linux Mint, Win10 and ARM32).

Continued efforts to run XnView_MP on any of the ARM64 machines (RPi 4 Bookworm and RPi 5 Trixie) failed despite very many hours searching information from the WWW and trying to distribute the untar-ed files in analogy with the ARM32 devices.

What is missing for a non-expert user (with preferences on photography - not Linux) is a detailed description how to distribute the variety of extracted XnView_MP files on the subdirectories and to link them adequately to convince xnview.sh to startup the program.

Thanks in advance for any advice and, again, thanks for the XnView code.


(There is awareness that multiple log files might exist where the installation process is commented - but there are endless log files on Linux machines and there is no idea which might hold relevant information notwithstanding the problem of interpreting the information and taking correct steps within an adequate time span).
