This is an AppImage that runs on all GNU/Linux platforms with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* FUSE
|
|
|
|
|
* This excludes non-privileged Docker containers unfortunately, unless pre-extracted.
|
|
|
|
|
* GLIBC 2.34+
|
|
|
|
|
* Cairo 1.17+
|
|
|
|
|
* May require runtime CPU matching Linux ABI x86-64-v2 and newer (CPUs with SSE4.2/CX16 via `lscpu`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This AppImage build is based on EL9 (via AlmaLinux 9)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AlmaLinux 9 was first released on 26 May 2022, full support ends 31 May 2027,
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance support ends 31 May 2032 (please see AlmaLinux bulletins for
|
|
|
|
|
up-to-date information).

# Version Info
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the AppImage main binary file naming, release tag information and AppInfo metadata
|
|
|
|
|
for the exact magic version inside the archive. When starting AppImage by default the
|
|
|
|
|
Tcl console banner can also provide version information, also using the `version` Tcl
|
|
|
|
|
command.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
chmod +x Magic-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Podman or Docker, use :Z when rootless with selinux enabled
|
|
|
|
|
podman run --rm --device /dev/fuse --privileged \
|
|
|
|
|
-v "$(pwd):/tmp/work:Z" -v "/tmp/.X11-unix/X0:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0:Z" \
|

|
|
|
-e DISPLAY -ti almalinux:9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Inside Docker:
|
|
|
|
|
dnf update -y
|
|

# Building Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A reasonably recent GNU/Linux host
|
|
|
|
|
* GNU make
|
|
|
|
|
* Docker
|
|
|
|
|
* Git
|
|
|
|
|
* curl
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The final build is then packaged into an AppImage using AppImageTool on the host machine.

# FAQ: Is my CPU supported ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is built with the standard x86_64 Linux ABI version for AlmaLinux 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the command `/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help` to see which CPUs your
|
|
|
|
|
Linux distribtion supports (and your CPU) look for the word "supported".

# FAQ: The DSO versioning link dependencies?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information here provides an outline of what versions to expect from EL9
|
|
|
|
|
of the major dependencies, to assist you in a compatibility check with your
|
|
|
|
|
Linux distribution of choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The actual versions in our public releases can differ slightly inline with
|
|
|
|
|
the EL9 support compatibility and ABI versioning policies for the support
|
|
|
|
|
lifecycle of the distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most important items are the Direct Dependencies and the availabilty
|
|
|
|
|
of a suitable graphics DSO as per your '-d' choice.
