The build guide at https://github.com/winft/theseus-ship/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#using-fdbuild has a broken link referenced directly as the further guide to compiling.

Most recent commit at time of posting is ad6c7ab .

Line in CONTRIBUTING.md to look for is:

More information about this can be found in the [respective section](https://github.com/romangg/como/blob/lib-isolate/CONTRIBUTING.md#using-fdbuild) of the Compositor Modules' contributing guide.

I think this is the corrected link: https://github.com/romangg/como/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#compiling

  • You really, really need to have this in the base readme on the github landing page.
  • You need to extend the explanaitions of how to use the nice tools with examples.
  • You need to prominently provide a list of the installable package names for all dependencies for multiple linux distro families.
    • (most is good too! best-effort matters! People will post issues about prominent missing things, it'll get solved!)
  • a unified compile manager page for all the related repos you manage here might work too - just make a big blue link and a table of contents with anchor links and stuff.

I suspect the reason you don't have this is because fdbuild "handles this for you".

  • But the problem is
    • That when fdbuild doesn't work
      • Because I'm a wimpy Python dev
        • And Using Build Tools Is Weird
          • I Have No Idea
            • What To Do
              • Because There's No Build Documentation
                • And This is Particularly Frustrating
                  • Because several years ago,
                    • when it was under the KwinFT name
                  • You had releases and good build documentation and I personally built KwinFT
                • and used it for like a year until KDE's Kwin fixed their bugs
              • but now that same laptop is old and unsupported henceforth until the heat death of the universe
            • So I came back to you
          • but I can't get it to build!

Also, what's up with the half gitlab and half github setup? It is real confusing.
