There is currently a not really clear error "Could not found, [but] (found)" about ALSA library.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:290 (message):
 Could NOT find ALSA (missing: ALSA_LIBRARY) (found version "1.2.15.3")

@npil Now it's my turn to apologize. I had totally forgotten to get back to this.

I had to also install pipewire-jack (and remove jack) to get around the error message pw-jack not found but other than that the package works nicely.

Thanks!

@treeman sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Your message completely missed me somehow, I blame the holidays ;)

Thanks for reporting and your investigations, I have pushed a fix.

I ran into an issue when installing this as the enter key doesn't work. It produces this in daemon.log:

Looking at the beautify dependency at https://github.com/jirutka/ruby-beautify2 it seems to expose RubyBeautify instead of RBeautify?

See the GitHub issues:

@FibonacciEffect should be fixed now

@FibonacciEffect thanks for the report. I can replicate this. It is caused by a deprecated boost lib. I will publish a patch shortly.

I seem to get an error when trying to update it with yay.

Current Version is 4.5.1. Got it to compile from source with the instructions from the repository.

Adopting this since it's been abandoned and broken for a while, will work on updating everything soon hopefully
