Zoom cloud meeting

[TD15]

We need an extension for zoom cloud meeting given the "work from home" situation. A 32 bit version will be appreciated.

As per the link provided in a different thread https://d11yldzmag5yn.cloudfront.net/prod/5.2.440215.0803/zoom_i686.tar.xz

This is pre-built, I presume you unpack it somewhere and run ZoomLauncher.

It is propreitary software(or commercial software whose owners don't give its source code) which means we don't get its sources from anywhere in the web.

We don't have sources means we can't provide tcz for that. You better unpack the binaries provided in the above link.

I also recommend moving it to a persistent place (it should be persistent) like /mnt/sdXX so that you can skip adding such big file to backup.

Can you give a more detailed procedure? I am new to tiny core.

[Juanito]

Please don't quote the post immediately before yours in its entirety, it just wastes space.

One of the advantages of tinycore is that it is difficult to break - if something goes badly wrong, you can reboot and things will be back to where they were before the problem.

I presume that you have downloaded and unpacked the tarball, what else have you tried and what errors did you get?

As I told you earlier,TCL's extensions are user-contributed, and if an extension isn't available in the APP browser, most users probably don't have a need for one, though you're welcome to make your own zcm.tcz if you do.

In most cases, if the software developer does not provide the source code, they will also provide binary packages (usually compiled) and individual distribution packages.

I've told you about ZCM(ZoomCloudMeeting) before, you don't actually need to compile ZCM, you just need to download its binary package and add the corresponding soft library dependencies. I don't know why you don't do this, but in my tests I was able to run ZCM on TCL.

In windows unpack usually referes to a .ZIP file. Is taz.xz the same thing over hear? If so then how do you unpack it from the option shown in my screen? please see screen shot

click on the button "enter a command to open with" and enter "tar xf"

Hi JunkYard
Or you could click on the  Create a new filetype for this extension  button.
In the window that pops up, fill in these fields:

Description:     XZ Tarballs
Extension(s):    tar.xz

Then click the  Add  button.
In the window that pops up, fill in these fields:

Name (optional):     List contents
Command:             x tar -tf %f | less

Then click the  Ok  button.

Click the  Add  button again.
In the window that pops up, fill in these fields:

Name (optional):     Extract contents
Command:             tar -xf %f

Then click the  Ok  button.

Then click the  Done  button.

And click the  Ok  button.

Now if you double click on a  .tar.xz  file, a window will pop up
and list the contents. Use the Page Up/Down keys or the Up/Down
arrow keys to scroll through the list. The  q  key quits and closes
that window.

If you right click on a  .tar.xz  file, a menu will pop up. Slide the
mouse pointer over  Choose action  and you will be presented with
2 choices,  List contents  and  Extract contents.
