Unfortunately, the latest version +segfaults with an unhelpful error message, and all attempts to find a +solution have been fruitless. Google searches show Ubuntu users having +the same problem, meaning TeighaViewer 19.5.0.0 doesn't even work on the +platform it's intended for (Ubuntu). So I'm sticking with 4.00.0 for now, +meaning this is still a 32-bit-only build. + +The download site only has the latest version, but I was able to find +several older versions (newer than 4.00.0) on web.archive.org and test +them. These didn't crash, but they also didn't *work*: none of them +would actually render anything. These versions all use qt5, and were +built against older qt5 releases (5.3.x), so the problem might be qt5 +incompatibility... only the qt4 32-bit-only version works :( + +I'm listing myself as maintainer, but unless there's a new version of +TeighaViewer that actually works, I won't be upgrading this build. |
