Can any third-party viewer work on Ubuntu 18?

[JSeesaw]

I've tried Firestorm and Alchemy, but I can't run their Linux version on Ubuntu 18.

I need the basic functions like build/edit/Marketplace listing/pay/script, etc.

Can any third-party viewer work on Ubuntu 18?

Now I go back to my old SL viewer v5.0.9 for an alternative.

Hmm... The Cool VL Viewer official builds requirements are glibc v2.28, libstdc++ v6.0.25 and glib v2.58.3 or newer.

I doubt Ubuntu 18 can make it, unless you somehow got newer packages for these libraries installed.

As long as you have either gcc v8.1 or newer, or clang v7.0 or newer (i.e. 100% C++17/C17 compliant compilers), you should be able to build it yourself from its sources on your system, but maybe the pre-built libraries will then not make it (depending wether they use newer versions of the glibc/libstdc++ functions compared with what you got on your system), and then you would also have to rebuild the pre-built libraries from sources... See the Cool VL Viewer repository for all the sources.

One component will however not make it at all: CEF (its current versions require Ubuntu 20.04 or equivalent). So you would not have a functional web plugin. Same with WebRTC voice (but thankfully, this is also implemented as a plugin in my viewer, so it won't prevent you to launch the viewer itself, unlike what would happen with all other WebRTC-capable viewers).
