Check please now

[Molochnik]

CMake cannot configure it now:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
/home/ravil/far2l/colorer/XERCESC_INCLUDE_DIR
   used as include directory in directory /home/ravil/far2l/colorer
/home/ravil/far2l/colorer/src/Colorer-library/src/XERCESC_INCLUDE_DIR
   used as include directory in directory /home/ravil/far2l/colorer/src/Colorer-library/src

[elfmz]

That area wasn't changed, try configuring from clean build sources.

1. i returned the Centos from the backup, but didn't succeed in cmake far2l configuring
2. i have downloaded the xerces sources then, recompiled and installed them
3. now far2l cmake configuring went smoothly and compilation advanced up to 62%
4. the latest errors are .here:

Я раньше собирал под Centos7 и соотв. Amazon Linux 2. И вопросы тут задавал, правда давненько это было...

[Molochnik]

Thanks god I moved to Centos8 and compiling now works perfect without any problem. But another problem has emerged, it runs fine only in the terminal window. If you try to run it through Nautilus it starts but no window is shown. The process actually exists but without window, killing and restarting it has no effect.

In https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/issues/647#issuecomment-1310838699 was steps for CentOS 7 and in https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/issues/647#issuecomment-1314072165 for CentOS stream 9

RPM packages you can find in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/polter/far2l or in https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/viklequick/

You can try portable far2l from https://github.com/spvkgn/far2l-portable/releases

akruphi As I said before, the far now is easily compiled and works fine in the terminal, that's enough for me. I am just a little puzzled why it cannot be run directly.

With CentOS8 problem solved when I added USEWX=yes (I forget to add it when moved from CerntOS7). problem solved
