Pre-built binaries for some systems are available, but are not guaranteed to be up-to-date. These binaries are typically provided as a convenience by Xastir users for the benefit of others running the same operating system version, and are not directly part of the Xastir project. MOST DISTROS HAVE VERY OLD BINARIES IN THEIR PACKAGE REPOSITORIES: You should probably make sure that the version it will install is a current one. Check the Xastir Github repository to see what the current release actually is, and avoid using packages that install a version that isn't the most recent.

Please see the Installation Notes page for detailed, up-to-date installation instructions for a variety of systems if you can't find an up-to-date binary for download. Page edited 16 Feb 2018 to remove outdated links to binary downloads, and all sections that simply told you do do a source build. If you don't find your system here, the default answer is that you have to build from source. See the Installation_Notes page.

FREEBSD

  • Both a binary package and a port are available. Type "pkg_add -r xastir" to fetch the relevant binary for your release, or update your ports tree and use the port to get the latest version. To install from the ports collection (after updating your ports tree), just do
    • cd /usr/ports/comms/xastir
    • make install clean
    • You will be prompted for various options, and the ports system will make sure that all necessary libraries are installed before building Xastir.
  • Or: Install from sources. See the README and INSTALL files in the Xastir distribution.

LINUX

  • Gentoo
    • emerge xastir -pv
    • if there is a later stable build than what it returns:
      • cp xastir-oldvers.ebuild xastir-newvers.ebuild
      • ebuild xastir.ebuild digest
      • emerge xastir -pv # To double-check
      • emerge xastir # To compile, install
  • Or install from sources. See the README and INSTALL files in the Xastir distribution.
