nickguletskii / GLXOSD

GLXOSD is an extensible on-screen display (OSD)/overlay for OpenGL applications running on Linux with X11 which aims to provide similar functionality to MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner OSD. It can show FPS, frame timings, temperatures and more in OpenGL games and applications. It can also be used to benchmark games, much like voglperf.

add installation instructions for Fedora and Arch #66

Closed kparal closed 7 years ago

kparal commented 8 years ago

I have packaged glxosd for Fedora in a COPR repo (analogous to PPA repos in Ubuntu), and I'm going to maintain it. It's available here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kparal/glxosd/

If you could link to it from https://glxosd.nickguletskii.com/install.html , I believe that could attract more users (esp. those not willing to compile it by hand). All the installation instructions are on the COPR page, so just a link is enough, I believe.

Also, I noticed glxosd is available for Arch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/glxosd/ I don't know how anything about its maintainers there, but you might consider linking to that as well.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for this. With version 1 and 2 I had a lot of trouble with packaging for Ubuntu and Debian, but with the simplifications that are coming with version 3 I will pay more attention to other distros.

I have updated Fedora Copr with latest code from master.

I also noticed glxosd is now in OpenSUSE in one of the unofficial repositories: http://software.opensuse.org/package/glxosd But I'm not sure how you enable those (but just the link might be sufficient for most opensuse users).

By the way, I haven't updated master to version 3.2.1 yet because the packages are still building and I want to test the changes before releasing. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am going to add the instructions to the website in a few hours. Thank you very much!

Thanks.

(Off topic, but you might want to remove -b v3 from the git clone command in under Compile from source section. I think that's outdated now.)

You are right, thank you.
