Download Linux binaries

These binaries are reasonably stable snapshots, but be warned that this is work in progress. Please do not expect a full-featured browser yet. Important: this is the first time we release a binary version, so there are probably going to be a few problems. Be patient, and please report all bugs to disc@mnemonic.org (the public discussion mailing list).

There are currently packages for Debian systems as well as normal tarballs, both for Linux on intel.

Debian packages

If you are using apt simply add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://hobbe.ub2.lu.se/pub/debs unstable mnemonic
and then the following command should install all runtime mnemonic packages as well as all other libraries needed to run them:
apt-get update
apt-get install mnemonic
You will probably have to configure apt to get libs from the unstable release to be able to satisfy all dependencies. But once it all is installed the you should be able to start it just as that:
mnemonic
To get rid of all the packages simply remove the mnemonic-core package and all the rest will follow as they depend on it:
apt-get remove mnemonic-core
All the msg and lib packages has -dev versions as well, that contians the develoopment files, and there is a mnemonic-dev package that depends on all the -dev packages.

Tarballs

Unpack the tarball in /usr/local. A subdirectory /usr/local/mnemonic will be made, which contains a bin, lib and share subdirectory. In order for libraries to be picked up, you will have to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the paths /usr/local/mnemonic/lib and /usr/local/mnemonic/lib/mnemonic/msg, by doing

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
   /usr/local/mnemonic/lib:/usr/local/mnemonic/lib/mnemonic/msg
in csh or
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
   /usr/local/mnemonic/lib:/usr/local/mnemonic/lib/mnemonic/msg
in bash (all on one line of course). Please do not attempt to install the current version in another directory than indicated here, there are still a few paths hardcoded in the binary.

All problems should be reported to disc@mnemonic.org, the public mailing list (or, if you are actually a developer, to the developers list of course).

All binaries are for Linux; if you are willing to provide binaries for other platforms please get in contact. If your system is missing some of the required libraries, look at the list on the compiling mnemonic page for links.

    Table support is not complete yet (will be available in the next version). You need to have t1lib version 1.0.0 installed.
