GTK2 version
packages
may require to
install some components of gtk/gdk libraries, as i.e. libgdk_pixbuf,
see full list of
dependencies
for
installing GTK2 packages.
Qt version packages requires Qt 4.3.4 or more recent, and needs
libqt4intf.so
and libqt4pas5 installed; it is recommended you install most up to date
missing libraries using distribution-specific methods, i.e. apt-get
install libqt4pas5:i386. See full list of
dependencies
for installing Qt packages.
DEB packages
are built for: Debian,
Ubuntu / Kubuntu, Knoppix, ...
RPM packages are built for:
Fedora, Mandriva,
SUSE, Red Hat,
ArkLinux, ...
TGZ packages are
buit for Slackware based distibutions.
ACE files extraction requires
to download and install UNACE Plugin for
Linux, based on WinAce unace code (compiled for Linux platform), that
being incompatible with Open
Source distribution model is provided as separate package, see
Add-ons page.
RAR files extraction is
supported out of the box, including new RAR5
format, using OpenSource unrar implementation from 7-Zip / p7zip
project.
On Add-ons page it is featured UNRAR5 Plugin for Linux, based on
(WinRar) RarLab's unrar code, that is not compatible with Open Source
distribution model and is provided as separate download: it is made
avaliable only as optional replacement to Open Source p7zip's unrar
tool.
To reduce the dependencies the installers has to satisfy to
successfully run on the host system, all backend binaries (except
p7zip) were moved to
Optional
Formats plugin external package (see
optional formats dependencies
list),
which
is needed for Linux installable versions to handle arc, lpaq, paq,
zpaq, quad, and upx. To install this package, simply extract its
content to PeaZip's res/ directory.
This package is optional and it is meant only for Linux installable
versions, Portable versions already comes with all the backend binaries.
If one of generic GTK2 or Qt installers provided on this page does not
work on the
target machine, please consider as alternative using a Portable version
(no
chance of issue with package management system preventing the
installation of the entire package due to missing dependencies for some
backend binaries), or to
search your distribution's software repository for distribution /
version
specific packages (either built compiling from sources with most
appropriate
options, or simply re-packing the application with latest package
manager supported for the system), that are generally recommended for
better
user experience on GNU/Linux systems.
FreeDesktop_integration
folder in PeaZip's directory contains script
examples for integrating Portable versions in the host system, or to
enhance / customize integration of installable packages.
