Right, gang.
Here's another interesting one for y'all.
I was reading one of Glen Ellis's posts earlier on, in which he mentions several of the apps he runs in SFS format. He mentioned this one, which I'd never heard of:-
Eagle CAD from Autodesk. Current release is v9.6.2.
I was intrigued, so I investigated. Appears to be along the same lines as LTSpice - all to do with electronics schematics & simulation testing.....except this one runs natively under Linux, instead of needing WINE to enable functionality. Autodesk are, of course, one of the biggest global names in the entire CAD industry, and the professionalism shows.
I occasionally play around with some of the basics in this area, so I shall be giving this one a try-out. It's self-contained in a single directory, and fired straight up under Fossapup64, so was a prime candidate for the 'portable' treatment.
It runs very sweetly, too. Oh; be warned......this is a BIG application (currently almost 550 MB when unzipped, though no worse than some others, for all that). You also need to create an Autodesk a/c if you want to use this, 'cos you have to log-in right at the beginning.....it won't run until you do.
Also runs OK under Bionicpup64. Strangely, it won't fire-up under KLV 'Airedale' (which is even newer than Fossapup.) Says it "Can't initialize GLX". I wonder if it's anything to do with GPU drivers; Bionic/Fossa are both running the proprietary Nvidia driver.....KLV isn't. Oh, well; ya can't win 'em all.
Tahrpup64/Xenialpup64 are simply too old. Segfault & crash during log-in....

The download can be found here:- https://mega.nz/folder/LOgVDahA#fBwQyz-er_iwzbRscN8_wA
As always - download; unzip; move the resulting portable directory anywhere you like, though preferably outside the 'save'. Click to enter, click 'LAUNCH' to fire it up purely as a portable. If you want a wee bit more system integration, scripts permit addition or removal of a Menu entry from wherever you've located it.....to save having to bring the portable directory up every time.
Hope some of you may find this useful. Enjoy.
Mike.
