typo ? leads to failure to compile

[dkragen]

Description

Tried to install using installer.sh. Repeatedly, resulted in two errors. First was that config directory wasn't created. After I created one manually, the installer made it past that error.

However, then failed at the stage where ld is gathering items. ld was unable to find keybinder-3.0("note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkeybinder-3.0"), which I believe is actually one of the following:
/usr/lib64/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0
/usr/lib64/girepository-1.0/Keybinder-3.0.typelib
probably the last, in Fedora 38.

Can you provide a bit more information about the first error? Was that a silent one?

[mdgaziur]

Does it compile successfully when you run cargo build --release?

Hello Gaziur, No, unfortunately not.

I am not really sure what might be causing this as I've never used Fedora. I think you can try prebuilt binaries instead. For now, you have to manually copy and install it. I'll add the capability to install prebuilt binaries sooner or later.

= note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkeybinder-3.0: No such file or directory

This error indicates that the system you are compiling this on is missing libkeybinder-3.0. I encountered this same issue until I installed the libkeybinder3 package. Usually, it means that ld can't find the library to link against. The -lkeybinder3 is not a typo, it's the way that the gcc linker args work. For example, to link against libfoo, you would issue gcc -lfoo ....

• On Arch Linux based distros, run:

  sudo pacman -Sy libkeybinder3
  

• On Debian-based distros, run:

  sudo apt install libkeybinder-3.0-dev libkeybinder-3.0-0
  

• On RHEL-based distros, run:

  sudo dnf install keybinder3 keybinder3-devel
  

• For other distros, search for the libkeybinder 3.0 package name and install it using the appropriate package manager.
