[RaitaroH]

Please see in #3 my commend here. I have the same issue in KDE Neon, also based on Ubuntu 16.04.

[surajmandalcell]

same problem here

[surajmandalcell]

Its gotta do something with make file

[mdiluz]

Same with #34, this specific issue may be resolved in master.

You may still get the issues in #3 however

[unmellow]

one possible problem I noticed is that the command to run feral LD_PRELOAD=/usr/$LIB/libgamemodeauto.so ./game calls into $lib which doesn't exist on Linux mint lib does maybe make it install there? it's probably not that simple but i tried to help

[unmellow]

ps i ran the commands before so that's why it says they're already installed

[mdiluz]

one possible problem I noticed is that the command to run feral LD_PRELOAD=/usr/$LIB/libgamemodeauto.so ./game calls into $lib which doesn't exist on Linux mint lib does maybe make it install there? it's probably not that simple but i tried to help

The command should have \$LIB not just plain $LIB, the backslash lets it get passed to ld which will then look in the right directories.

The second error is strange, it implies the gamemode-1.0/ directory already existed with a build directory inside. I'd either cd gamemode-1.0/build && sudo ninja install or delete the whole directory and start again. Does that work?

[omicron-b]

Linux Mint 18.3 just updated meson and ninja-build packages (I suppose all Ubuntu 16.04 based distributions did too), I tried compiling, and just as @RaitaroH said, we now have issue #3

[omicron-b]

I tried steps from issues #3 #8 #34 (fresh clone with git, update submodules, install dbus-user-session and reboot) on Linux Mint 18.3 but I still get this:

./bootstrap.sh

Meson encountered an error in file daemon/meson.build, line 27, column 0: Include directory to be added is not an include directory object.

[mdiluz]

I bet I caused that with 2317bcde14c42ec92fb28 somehow, although it works for me.

I'll see if I can figure it out.

FWIW meson should handle the submodule itself, so there's no need to run the git submodule commands.

[mdiluz]

Could you try this patch?

I suspect meson 0.40.1 doesn't like me adding an array into another array there, whereas my meson 0.45.1 didn't care.

Yes, you are correct, git submodule was not relevant I checked that. And yes the patch fixed it, build is successful now and the service is running, thanks!
