rofi version 1.6.0 add to repo [Solved] Thanks

[Member ex_Koo]

I installed rofi version 1.60 from source code and it was a painful experience so many dependencies. Runs beautifully.

Is their any chance of packaging it to the antiX repo. Only asking because other users run rofi.

Sorry I don’t have a list of the dependencies I installed.

But I had to update check to 0.12.0.0-2 and was only available from bullseye. Everything else was on buster..

As I am learning how to package, I will have a look in the weekend if you can wait a bit.
By the way, you are talking about:
rofi 1.6 release
correct? I will have a look tonight if I have time, and see how Debian has packaged old releases, to try and make it consistent.

Wow quick service Thanks to all.
Just installed on 19.2 runit X64 with sudo dpkg -i rofi_1.6.0-1.0antix1_amd64.deb working just Fine.

Couple of things using this version you need to run rofi with this command = rofi -show drun
And if you use your old rasi or config you will see no change in appearance. Below is one I found on the web for 1.6
Also log out then login OR reboot. After making changers. Remember Ctrl-Tab Switch to the next modi

So, should I put the debs in our repos?

It worked for me, so my guess is yes.
Thanks for the speedy build.

Yes! I just tested it, and it works fine!
If, in a future version, rofi is installed by default (like dmenu was, or still is, I’m not sure), it will be a much faster “file finder” than spacefm’s, using this on-line script I digged up:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gotbletu/shownotes/master/rofi-scripts-collection/rofi-locate.sh

I even adapted it, to show a tiny “magnifying glass icon” (but I’m certain the forum will convert it to a Tofu glyph – it’s a character in the Webdings font):
xdg-open “$(locate home media /usr/share/icons | rofi -threads 0 -width 100 -dmenu -i -p “”)”

P.

Yes please repo sounds good.

@PPC Thanks for the search script like you say sure beats using catfish. And I can’t enough good things about spacefm a very powerful file manager, I never use thunar anymore.
