New Xsudo Version 3.0: Win64 and Linux

 


What's changed and what's not

  • The computational core and logic are unchanged.
  • Larger compute buffers support very large logic and eliminations.
  • The general layout and feature set are largely unchanged.
  • UI changee to support ease of use, better solver options, wait indicators, URL use, etc.
  • Fixed various small bugs and rough spots.

Note: Xsudo 3.0 is a beta version and feedback is greatly appreciated. Please contact me at rab3@allanbarker.com. Xsudo 3 was developed in Linux and back ported to Windows.


Install instructions for current version 3.05

Windows: Download and run the installation file here:  xsudo64win_setup.exe . When installing for the first time choose all 3 options. Re installation will not overwrite settings or prior work saved in puzzle files. 

Linux: Make a new directory  ~/xsudo in your home directory. Download the install file  xsudo-install.tgz  into ~/xsudo. Type "cd ~xsudo" to enter the directory, then type "tar -xvf xsudo-install.tgz ." to extract.  (Note the trailing dot!) Xsudo is now installed. Run by typing  "./xsud"  from inside the directory or tyoe  "~/xsudo/xsud" from elsewhere. For a launcher or Xsudo menu item, follow your OS's instructions.

Linux install command summary:

mkdir ~/xsudo
cd ~xsudo
download xsudo-install.tgz
tar -xvf xsudo-install.tgz .   (note trailing dot)
./xsud or  ~/xsudo/xsud   to execute


Will Xsudo run on my Linux?

Xsudo-Linux is a mostly static build using wxWidgets 3.2.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
 It has a reasonable chance of running on:

Ubuntu: 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, 24.10, and 25.04,
  (due to compatible GTK+ 3 (3.24.20+) and glibc (2.31+) versions.)
Debian: Buster (10), Bullseye (11), Bookworm (12), as they use compatible GTK+ 3 and glibc versions.
Linux Mint: 20.x (Ubuntu 20.04-based), 21.x (Ubuntu 22.04-based), and LMDE (Debian-based).
Fedora: Versions 31–34 and later, with GTK+ 3.24.x and glibc 2.31+.
openSUSE: Leap 15.2–15.5, with compatible GTK+ 3 versions.
Arch Linux and Manjaro: Likely compatible due to newer GTK+ 3 and glibc but not certain
Pop!_OS and Zorin OS: 20.04/22.04-based versions, highly compatible.
