Feedback on using with Linux Mint (mentioning clang in dependencies is necessary?) #9

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

If you build on another distro, I'm interested in how it went.

Went grrrreat!

Linux Mint x64 20.1 w/5.8.0-50 kernel.

Dependencies were installed with following commands successfully:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0

Make was failing with

clang -std=c11 main.c -o hudkit `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0 webkit2gtk-4.0`
/bin/sh: 1: clang: not found
make: *** [makefile:2: hudkit] Error 127

Solved with sudo apt-get install clang (clang probably should be listed in Dependencies)

run.sh sample script output: Screenshot from 2021-04-25 14-27-56

Works brilliantly!

Thanks for the details. Looks as intended. :sparkles: :clap::smile: :sparkles:

I added to the readme those packages for Mint, and a brief explanation of the C compilation tools needed.
