Mint 22: Running the non-distro specific package generates broken symlinks and fails #11

On Linux Mint 22, ./run.sh creates broken symlinks that prevent the scripts from completing (and the program from running).

This leads to errors like OSError: ./libuinput.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory or OSError: ./libhiddrv.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I suspect this is the same problem that causes the Noble appimages to never actually open, outputting APPRUN_ERROR: No such file or directory when executed from a terminal.

Manual solution: Editing the folder name in sc-controller-x.x.x.x/build from "lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-312" to "lib.linux-x86_64-3.12". Subsequently the not-broken symlinks all point to their respective .so normally contained in that folder.

I have no clue if I did this properly, but it at least works on my system now.
