A portable image is supposed to have all (most needed?) required binaries and libraries in one 'image'
That's nice because it might work on different systems without having to install anything, just click on the image and the program runs.
In case of wex-portable it's a good solution because of the 'special' ffmpeg (included in wex-portable) required for weX (older (and also some newer) official ffmpeg versions won't work as expected for weX)
Ok, but now the downside: It's in fact a waste of disk space (well... read: not really efficient). Why?
For example wex-portable:
It has included 'ffmpeg', but... ffmpeg can not be used system-wide, because it's only part of the image (to be exclusively used by weX), so ffmpeg is not included in PATH environment.
So the most efficient would be (in case of weX) (32-bit only) to:
1) install this special build of ffmpeg:
Install .pet package:
https://8cadee4e0aedcb40d24c31cf412eb89 ... 2_i386.pet
Or (for DebianDog 32-bit or XenialDog) this .deb package:
https://8cadee4e0aedcb40d24c31cf412eb89 ... 2_i386.deb
(BTW, for XenialDog the official ffmpeg works fine for weX also)
2) install weX and weaV packages from first post attachments 32-bit (as provided by weX author mcewanw):
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 785#918785
(this way weX will appear in the Menu as it's supposed to be)
3) Install scrox (this one works on old and new systems) (see attached (32-bit) )
(depends on giblib1 and libimlib2 (or maybe it's called imlib2, not sure) )
I'm not trying to discourage using wex-portable, just giving info about other way to use weX with having the advantage to be able to use ffmpeg for any other purpose than weX only.
EDIT: It seems that google-drive doesn't support well direct links anymore (works for me appr. only 1 out of 10 times clicking on the above ffmpeg link
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Here are different links that might work better for ffmpeg static (although not direct links):
ffmpeg pet package:

ffmpeg deb package:
