Can't build on Linux

Post by sneakyswin »

I dual boot between linux and windows right now, but it gets annoying having to switch to windows just to play my xbox through the adapter. I've been trying to build this for a while but I can't seem to get it to work. It always runs into the Werror thing, so I used the -I flag to ignore errors. Once it gets past the first error, it has a bunch of issues with ncurses. I have ncurses installed as well as the compat-libs package on aur, but nothing I do will make it build correctly.

The gimx source uses a bit outdated libraries, so it may be difficult to compile it on newer systems. Maybe try using docker, and make sure you have GIMX-build compiled.

I'm not really familiar with docker but after some looking into it seems like an option, how would I use it in this case?

Set up environment with older libraries and try compile it there.
