Steps

1. Start and get into the Ubuntu 20.04 Focal container.

This will mount the current path where the deb packages will be available at the end inside the build folder. With using --rm the container and all it's content will be removed after you exit.

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/mount -w /mount ubuntu:focal

2. Inside the container run:

./build.sh

3 .deb file files should now be inside the build folder:

• libgnomevfs2-common_1%3a2.24.4-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
• libgnomevfs2-0_1%3a2.24.4-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
• gnome-commander_1.12.3.1-1_amd64.deb

3. Copy the 3 files over to the target host (Ubuntu 20.04) and install them:

# first install the libgnomevfs packages
dpkg -i libgnomevfs2-common_1%3a2.24.4-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libgnomevfs2-0_1%3a2.24.4-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
apt-get -f install

# install other gnome-commander dependencies
apt-get -y install libc6 libexiv2-27 libgcc1 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libpango-1.0-0 libpoppler-glib8 libpython2.7 libstdc++6 libtag1v5
