Installation and integration in *x systems:
If experiencing problems running PeaZip compiled for Qt, start it as:
peazip -style=cleanlooks
If experiencing problems with PeaZip compiled for Qt widgetset, it is available PeaZip compiled for GTK2 libraries as alternative, or it is possible to compile the application for its own Qt version using Lazarus/FreePascal IDE, which supports compiling the sources for various widgetsets: Win32, WinCE, fpGUI, Carbon, Qt, GTK1, GTK2.
On Linux systems, PeaZip installer automatically create menu entries for KDE (on most versions); to add PeaZip to Gnome menu copy the “Archiving” folder placed in PeaZip/Freedesktop_integration/nautilus-scripts to system’s Nautilus script’s folder (in most versions open “Scripts” menu in system’s context menu, and select “Open script’s folder”).
Qt widgetset packages requires Qt 4.5 or more recent, and needs libQt4Pas.so installed in /usr/local/lib or equivalent directory (copy the file and run ldconfig; it is done automatically in installable packages), such as /usr/lib or /usr/lib32 on some 64 bit distributions.
A copy of libQt4Pas.so is available in PeaZip’s directory, ./usr/local/share/PeaZip/ for the installable packages.
If the Qt version does not start on some systems, as some system’s visual styles may cause recursive repainting error, you can fix the problem starting it in a console (or script) as: peazip -style=cleanlooks
On 64 bit systems, backend binaries in PeaZip/res path can be freely replaced by users with respective 64 bit counterpart (if available).
PeaZip Portable is standalone software and doesn’t need installation and can be used from removable or remote paths without changing the host system (useful is system needs to stay library-freezed).
‘Freedesktop_integration’ folder in PeaZip’s path contains .desktop files and Nautilus scripts to help users to configure tighter integration of PeaZip with desktop environment’s menus.
