I am very interested, too: Is there any plan for development and releases, or was the source code just made open source by the original authors who do not have development capacities? Is it up to the community to cope with that somehow?
I was able to successfully build the Salamander binary using a github workflow. The changes are sitting in my fork. I know that @janrysavy is planning on using my work for testing purposes.
This work can also be used for creating a final release that would be available to users for downloading. IDK what is the plan here, but it would make sense to me to use the github release capability exactly for such a purpose.

Salamander is not our job within Fine, but that doesn't mean that we are no longer interested in it. We use it every day, Unicode or Dark Mode support would be great. We believe that there will be a community around Open Salamander that will be able to develop Salamander further. We will support such initiative in our spare time.
It would also really be neat, if native Linux binaries would be provided; at least in an AppImage or something.
We all wish for that. Looking at the code just now, it seems it uses Windows UI APIs a lot. Porting will be a big challenge. One thing we can do is try to see why "Wine" or other emulators crash and make them work with Windows OpenSalamander as a first step.
I am happy to see this project was open sourced.
Now all it needs is to pick up some traction.
Please provide portable, binary builds so we can test it.
@melloware I have created a PR. But I think this repository is no longer maintained by the creators. The last PR was accepted in spring '24...
We will see
I really wish the creators would turn this over to the community and let this project move forward. To many people are creating forks and not donating PR's because they see no activity.

Salamander is Windows only application.

Please keep this issue on topic.

Regarding binary release: do you think that nightly builds without code sign certificate would be enough for now?
manison commentedon Dec 8, 2023
I think nightly builds would be fine for start.

Is there any news about installable x64 executable?
melloware commentedon Feb 16, 2025
@lejcik offers some binaries on his fork: #61

You could try my fork.

Binaries are created by action.

@OFreddy this is great can you donate this PR so this project gets automated builds in the Release section?

Or we have to go the drastic route and just fork this project and start maintaining it in a different repo that the users control...
