How to use the lastest version on Debian 11?

[earthmoon]

Hello,

I see

Debian packages are available in Debian 12 or later.

But, the stable Debian system is 11 now. How can I use GoldenDict on the Debian 11 system and which one, 5.15.2 or 6.4.3, should I use?

Thanks.

You grab .AppImage package from https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict-ng/releases

(In future, maybe we can build some .deb packages.)

5.15.2 or 6.4.3, should I use?

Personally, I use 6.X, but it has some edge case bugs (which don't affect general use) #342

Why 2 versions exist?

Because Qt5.0 was released 10 years ago, we are in a time when the world is migrating from Qt5 to Qt6. Unfortunate time causes confusion :)

Thanks. I tried to run 6.4.3-xapian-GoldenDict-NG-4147770f-x86_64.AppImage on my Debian 11, but it seems the GLIBC is too low. There are the last several lines of code:

As based on Qt6 to code, is there a need to keep Qt5? I even don't know what is Qt.

8 days later, the Debian 12 will be released, and then I can use this software.
