Cannot install on Fedora 40

[Humorist2601]

Hello

Trying to install your beautiful app but it is not working. The install.sh uses yum to install which I think should not be the case

I am getting the following error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1.2.0: No such file or directory

Do you not have it installed?

Hi there, I have updated the install.sh to try dnf before yum. It's on the main branch.

Yes, that is what I find strange. I have installed it but make build still gives error

[ravachol]

I had to remove the reference to install.sh from the README since several people seem to be having problems with it. The file itself is still there though, but I recommend other ways to install it. Perhaps homebrew?

Hi everyone, I'm also on Fedora 40 Workstation, but I have a different issue:

 1 mkdir -p src/obj

Try this:

sudo dnf install -y pkgconf-pkg-config ffmpeg fftw-devel opus-devel opusfile-devel libvorbis-devel gcc make chafa-devel freeimage-devel ffmpeg-devel glib2-devel libnotify-devel

I think what you might be missing is ffmpeg-devel and chafa-devel.

Try this:

sudo dnf install -y pkgconf-pkg-config ffmpeg fftw-devel opus-devel opusfile-devel libvorbis-devel gcc make chafa-devel freeimage-devel ffmpeg-devel glib2-devel libnotify-devel

Thank you, on Fedora Workstation 40 it worked.

But on Fedora Silverblue (on a different machine) I have the same issue as OP.

[ravachol]

what does this say: ldconfig -p | grep libatomic

[ravachol]

I'll update the readme with fedora info, if we manage to solve this.

[alex27riva]

what does this say: ldconfig -p | grep libatomic

Returns nothing. I had to install libatomic. Build successful.

[ravachol]

Nice! I updated the README.

[ravachol]

I added back the install.sh section to the readme.
