anticapitalX
I’m starting development of zzxfm, a fork of the zzzfm file manager from antiX Linux. I’m planning to add new features and improvements.
I chose this name so I can build it on my system without conflicts with the default zzzfm available in antiX.
What I’ve Done So Far
1. Got the source:
Downloaded from GitLab
unzip zzzfm-antix-master.zip
cp -r zzzfm-antix-master zzxfm-source
2. Renamed everything:
– Changed all occurrences of “zzzfm” to “zzxfm” in file contents
– Renamed actual files from zzzfm to zzxfm
find . -name "*zzzfm*"
– Updated debian/control: changed debhelper-compat (= 11) to debhelper-compat (= 12) for Bookworm builds
3. Installed dependencies:
sudo apt install build-essential autotools-dev libtool automake autoconf pkg-config
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libglib2.0-dev intltool gettext libffmpegthumbnailer-dev libudev-dev
4. Fixed libtool issue:
./autogen.sh
failed with “libtool not found” because the system has libtoolize instead of libtool:
which libtool # not found
which libtoolize # /usr/bin/libtoolize
Fix:
sed -i 's/libtool --version/libtoolize --version/' autogen.sh
5. Two more package needed to be installed in the process :
sudo apt install libffmpegthumbnailer-dev libudev-dev
6. Built and installed:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
Success! ✅
zzxfm is now installed and working. This marks the beginning of zzxfm development into an unknown future.
All respect goes to skidoo for the previous work on zzzfm!
What’s Next?
I’m looking for ideas and feature requests! What would you like to see added to zzxfm?
Please share your suggestions !
