2 years ago Let's say out of principle mostly, although the amount of extra stuff that usually comes with a Flatpak may prove too much for the scarce free space on my drives.
BTW, yesterday I installed the Windows port in an 8.x test setup and it all went fine apart from the additional VC14 runtime that had to be installed too. I was hoping to get a working share between this Mint and that Windows considering Samba has become utterly useless compared to years ago when I could fairly easily connect a Mint 17.2 to an XP. But I guess that's progress, huh...

2 years ago Nevermind previous content, after a lot of struggle installing packages not quite made for Mint 19.2 I finally managed to build a .deb package that actually works or at least it appears to.
For others using Mint 19.x that may have troubles building and/or running Warpinator I'll leave some pointers:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb ; trying to install them one by one through GDebi will yield bad results.
Also, for me the built package required two additional dependencies, so make sure you either have them installed or install them beforehand:
-- ieee-data
-- python3-netaddr
(python3-ifaddr will also be required if it's not already installed)
If all other dependencies are met (according to the documentation on the main page here) then building a .deb should work:
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
Apologies if I may have forgotten any steps, it's all been hectic downloading/installing/uninstalling/upgrading/downgrading/fixing/etc.
Hi, tried to compile latest master (as of typing this) on my Mint 19.2 and either compilation variant (dpkg-buildpackage or meson) ends up with some error. Same for an older tag (1.1.2). I did add the repository as mentioned in the readme; inxi -r reports:
Also installed any other dependencies not already installed and so far they all seem alright apart from zeroconf which cannot be gotten to 0.27.0 on this system and apparently the meson parameter -Dbundle-zeroconf=false is being ignored.
Has anyone of the official team tried to compile this in 19.x recently? Here's what I get for the dpkg-buildpackage version:
Using the -d flag as suggested in the error message above results in another error:
The main problem here is that the debhelp 12 package which I did try to install has some sort of a circular dependency. It requires libdebhelper-perl 12, but after installing that and trying to subsequently install debhelper, just before finishing it uninstalls libdebhelper-perl and then whines about the very same missing dependency. Nothing I can do about it. Anyway, debhelper 12 pertains to Ubuntu 20 so it may not be suitable to Mint 19/Ubuntu 18.
And here's what I get for the meson version:
Now everything seems to have went fine, no errors. But then trying to actually run warpinator the dreaded zeroconf error pops up:
Here's the list of the currently installed dependencies versus the required versions as per the readme file. Only python3-zeroconf and debhelper are lower than required and cannot be updated:
How do I go from here while definitely Flatpak/Snap/AppImage are unacceptable?
