I'm not sure how to install the linter. I just needed a linter for vscode, and it took a while even to figure out the linter was not part of the vscode extension. Here's what I've done so far.
After some digging in this repository, and trying to install it using meson, I found that it should be installed through Docker. (This was not clear, to me, from the README.)
I don't have docker installed, but I do have podman and it should be able to handle the basic docker commands and files. I ran:
$ podman run -v "$PWD":/app valalang/lint:latest
✔ docker.io/valalang/lint:latest
Trying to pull docker.io/valalang/lint:latest...

No mistakes found
At first, I though "No mistakes found" referred to the installation. However, everytime I try to run the image/container from Podman Desktop, it just ends quickly. I'm starting to believe this is supposed to be used as the command itself. So, being a complete noob on podman or docker, I just created a symbolic link to the io.elementary.vala-lint (after digging around in ~/.local/share/containers/overlay):
Now, regardless of what directory I try to run it from, even in the .../diff/usr/bin directory running with ./io.elementary.vala-lint, it always produces the following output:
$ io.elementary.vala-lint
io.elementary.vala-lint: error while loading shared libraries: libvala-linter-1.0.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm guessing now (or hoping) that "No mistakes found" is the output of the linter that has not received any files and I'm wondering how it can be executed. More specifically, I want it to work with vscode, so it should be part of my $PATH variable. Thanks in advance.
