Running Xmind 8 update 9 on Debian Buster (10)
Install on Buster is not straightforward, let alone running it.
I needed to pull libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and openjdk-8-jre from Jessie (aka Debian 9), for apt this is
-------------------------
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main
-------------------------
This allowed me to successfully complete install.
Then I needed to adjust Xmind.ini at <install_directory>/XMind_amd64/XMind.ini to:
-------------------------
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
-configuration
./Programme/xmind-8-update9-linux/XMind_amd64/configuration
-data
./Programme/xmind-8-update9-linux/XMind_amd64/workspace
-startup
./Programme/xmind-8-update9-linux/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.200.v20160318-1642.jar
--launcher.library
./Programme/xmind-8-update9-linux/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.400.v20160518-1444
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.GTK_version
2
-eclipse.keyring
@user.home/.xmind/secure_storage_linux
-vmargs
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-------------------------
Note: ./Programme/xmind-8-update9-linux denotes the directory of installation in my home directory.
And then Xmind 8u9 runs.
It took two hours to figure all this out and quite a bit of devotion to Xmind.
Surely, there must be things that can be done to avoid this difficult procedure.
Any ideas?
