Rox-filer available?

I installed the latest archlinux32 OS.  Have not been able to setup AUR.  I like Rox or Rox-filer application, is this available?  On quick search with Pacman -Ss, I don't see it.

thanks,

Re: Rox-filer available?

AUR packages are not part of the officially distributed packages (as in upstream Archlinux).
You have to build them manually.

See also https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?id=2841 for Archlinux32 specific things
to consider (like setting the architecture).

Re: Rox-filer available?

Aha, I see rox made it to the official repos (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 86_64/rox/).

-rw-r--r-- 1 http http     566 Jan  3  2020 pool/rox-2.11-4.0-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig
-rw-r--r-- 1 http http 1050052 Jan  3  2020 pool/rox-2.11-4.0-i686.pkg.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 http http     310 Jan  3  2020 pool/rox-2.11-4.0-pentium4.pkg.tar.xz.sig
-rw-r--r-- 1 http http 1050184 Jan  3  2020 pool/rox-2.11-4.0-pentium4.pkg.tar.xz

I can install rox from the repos.

I cannot find rox-filer anywhere, only https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rox-filer-hugeicons, so
you can try to build that one from the AUR.

Re: Rox-filer available?

The package named rox seems to consist of rox-filer alone according to its man page, invoked as 'rox'.  Just installed it and it runs well on this machine.
