libffi7 dependency outdated on newer linux distributions

Open Chaussettes99 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Love your software and it allows me to use some of the newer Playstation DualShock controllers on older kernels, but the libffi7 dependency is starting to become an issue on newer linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian 12 Bookworm.

Ubuntu and Mint ship libffi8 by default and keep libffi7 in the repo, so this problem is generally easily fixable there, but starting with the new Debian 12 Bookworm release, libffi7 is not available in the repos. This is an issue because you cannot start sc-controller without it. A version bump to support libffi8 would remedy this issue and allow sc-controller to work on these newer linux releases. Thanks.

This looks good, seems to work out of the box. Thanks.
