SemanticMerge for Linux?

[adzenith]

It looks like https://www.semanticmerge.com/linux hasn't been updated in a long time. If you follow the directions there for Ubuntu, it turns out that the certificates to sign the apt repos have expired. Is Linux still a supported platform for SemanticMerge?

HI,

I'm afraid not. Semantic is no longer available for Linux. We will post it if it is available in the future.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

 

Best regards,

Héber.

I managed to get it working through Wine. Something like this:

# Upgrade wine (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu)
cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget -qO - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add
sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -sc) main"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

# Download Winetricks
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks

# Install .NET 4.6
WINEARCH=win32 ./winetricks dlls dotnet46

# Install the JRE
# First, download the Windows offline java installer from https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

# JRE seems to only install under WinXP
WINEARCH=win32 ./winetricks winxp
WINEARCH=win32 wine jre-8u231-windows-i586.exe /s

# But other stuff only works under Win7, so switch back
WINEARCH=win32 ./winetricks win7

# Install SemanticMerge - download from https://users.semanticmerge.com/Download
WINEARCH=win32 wine SemanticMerge-2.0.149.0-installer.exe

# Run it!
wine "C:\users\$USER\Local Settings\Application Data\semanticmerge\semanticmergetool.exe"

# Once it's open, in the settings make sure to set the JRE path.
# It should be something like "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin"
