errors when trying to build with GH Actions

[abenz1267]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to setup a GH Action to build the binary, but I'm running into various errors:

I'm using the ubuntu-latest runner and goreleaser.

sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-4-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev should install the dependencies (if not present anyways...).

Anyone got any idea? Building on a VPS with ubuntu-latest works fine.

ubuntu-latest isn't new enough, it seems. You want to try ubuntu-24.04 or use gotk4-nix like Dissent does.

You can track the Actions image versions here: https://github.com/actions/runner-images?tab=readme-ov-file#available-images.

Thank you a lot! Using the 24.04 beta runner worked. Just had to build gtk4-layer-shell from source.
