RPM package version for Fedora/RHEL

[andersonid]

Thank you so much for all your effort and sharing your awesome work, royshilkrot! Could you please add a RPM package version to install localvocal on Fedora/RHEL?

Thanks!

@andersonid i wonder if instructions on how to build and install on Fedora would suffice like https://github.com/occ-ai/obs-backgroundremoval/blob/main/docs/BUILDING-FEDORA.md

github unfortunately don't provide a Fedora runner and i'm not sure RPMs created on Ubuntu would work...

Thanks, mate. I will try it out and give you a feedback.

Hi @royshil I had followed you doc recommendation, and its works like a charm on obs-backgroundremoval, but got this error trying to compile obs-localvocal while running build-linux script.

[royshil]

@andersonid the error suggests that libplugin-support.a wasn't built with -fPIC i've merged a change to add -fPIC on linux can you git pull master and try the build again?

[royshil]

@andersonid are you getting any luck building for fedora?

Thank you so much, mate! It's now installed and visually working on my filters dialog for audio inputs... Now I will try to get the entire solution working with your youtube tutorial.

Thank you again for sharing this awesome work!!!!
