Unable to build on clear linux

[nobbysheep]

Describe the bug As I can't find any other way to install I'm following the documented approach for building from source however when I run the build fails. Here's the output;

./bootstrap.sh warning: unable to rmdir 'subprojects/inih': Directory not empty Previous HEAD position was d58c59c Update version to 1.5 HEAD is now at 4dc99df Specify correct inih directory after update to r54

Not too sure what's wrong / missing

Expected behavior Build should not fail

System Info (please complete the following information):

• OS and version: Clear Linux 37780
• GameMode Version: 1.7

Additional context I believe i've installed all of the required packages but new to clear linux so may have missed something very obvious

Seems to be typo in 1.7 so swapped to master and build worked. Managed to install but test run (using gamemoded -t) seems to fail;

gamemode request succeeded and is active Quitting by request... : Loading config Loading config file [/usr/share/gamemode/gamemode.ini] : Running tests

NOTE ; might be worth updating documentation referencing ver 1.7

For me, using Meson 1.0.0 got past this when building the master. May work for you as well.

[szymon-gniado]

I have fixed the issue by changing line 29 in bootstrap.sh to:

meson setup builddir --prefix=$prefix --buildtype debugoptimized -Dwith-systemd-user-unit-dir=/etc/systemd/user "$@"

before running the script

Thanks - I've actually switched from Clearlinux to EnveavourOS which is pretty much as performant but not saddled with having to jump through hoops to get software working. If I swap back I'll be sure to try this out. Thanks again
