[xiphos-users] parallel view column width

[Byron Smith]

Well, version 4.2.1 is the latest on the website. If you're comfortable with doing so, you could try building from source. I've never tried it for this program, but I have done so with the game freeciv on Ubuntu, and I suspect it's easier to setup to compile and install than xiphos. I'm definitely not an expert on building from source. Good luck if you choose that route.

Wait, sorry, this is your machine? If Linux, what distro? Ubuntu? Fedora? OpenSUSE? The last version of this program was in 2020, I think. Shame, because it's great.

If he said so, then I missed it. Aren't the latest Windows binaries GTK-based?
