Binary Releases

• Linux ia-32 / Linux x86_64 : blackbox-decode is built statically on Alpine (no dependencies). blackbox-render is built on Debian stable (Bookworm); in theory will run on any contemporary x86_64 / ia-32 distro. blackbox_render uses OS shared libraries that should be available by default on any distro with a GUI.
• MacOS : blackbox-decode . Built on 10.5 VM. Statically linked. Only dylib dependency is on v 0.0.0 (or later) for /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib, which should be met by contemporary MacOS.
• Win32 : blackbox-decode, blackbox-render Cross-complied on Linux.
• Win64 : blackbox-decode, blackbox-render Cross-complied on Linux.
• Linux Aarch64: Build on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Arch Linux. This may well preclude it working on older distros.

For the final INAV 8 release, blackbox-render will be provided for MacOS.

Install Detail

Each archive contains a bin directory containing blackbox_decode, optionally blackbox_render. You should copy these to a suitable directory on $PATH (for example one of ~/bin, ~/.local/bin, /usr/local/bin or other OS equivalent).

There is also a share directory containing the blackbox_decode bash-completion module. If you want such a convenience, it should be installed in a suitable directory (~/.local/share or a system wide equivalent).
