@daviip Thanks for responding, will give this a go.

First time ever really using git. Hope I'm doing it right.

I suppose you used backticks to demarcate the lines with code. It might be easier to just add 4 spaces at the beginning of the line to indicate it's code or add a line with 3 backticks before and after the code block. Eg.

This is a code block

I was able to get a build started on Loki after installing the following packages: automake autoconf libtool-bin libunity-dev

...however it bails out with this error:

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gstrfuncs.h:175:23: note: expected ‘gchar * {aka char *}’ but argument is of type ‘const gchar * {aka const char *}’
 gchar*                g_strchug        (gchar        *string);
                       ^
  CCLD     relay
main_window.o: In function `main_window_construct':
/usr/local/src/relay/build/src/../../src/main_window.c:1589: undefined reference to `gtk_widget_set_focus_on_click'

[sysfu]

Upon further investigation, the offending line 1589 in main_window.c uses 'gtk_widget_set_focus_on_click' ...and it appears that this function was not introduced until lib-gtk 3.20

The version of libgtk-3-dev that ships with Loki is 3.18:

$ dpkg --list | grep libgtk-3-dev
ii  libgtk-3-dev:amd64                             3.18.9-1ubuntu3.1 

So the solution appears to be either edit main_window.c and roll back the function name to 'gtk_button_set_focus_on_click' or build against a version of libgtk-3-dev that is v3.20 or newer.

I went with editing main_window.c and was able to successfully build the app from source and install.

You'll probably want to copy or move the icon file too so it looks all purdy-like in the Applications menu: sudo cp /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/relay.svg /usr/share/app-install/icons/relay.svg

Wait! What? An older version of Elementary OS ships with a newer version of lib-gtk?

[sysfu]

My apologies, I left a zero off the version number, it should have been '3.20'. I have fixed it in the comment above as well as the link.

I would also love to see Relay for Loki. Is there anything any of us could do to help out?

You could just make a PPA. All the sources are there.

I've never created a PPA but I suppose I could give it a bash.
