More human friendly configuration process

Open luisalvarado opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

When using it directly from gihub, if you do ./build.sh configure on Ubuntu 24.04 or 24.10 it shows that it is missing meson and mako but it can not install them like this:

WARNING: Package(s) not found: mako

I can install them manually but someone that does not know will not know what to do, so maybe something to handle the installation and permission for packages like meson, mako

So the only 2 additional steps on both Ubuntu versions that were needed were

sudo apt install python3-mako sudo apt install meson

But maybe something that faciliates not guessing would help new users of MangoHud.

Would be pretty easy to nuke support for older ubuntu and just add these to the list of packages that need to be installed

Is that a good thing or bad thing? @flightlessmango

Closing as solved or not needed anymore.
