How to install this program on ARM SBC

Open tkochetov opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi, I have trouble installing this program on my Orange Pi 5 Plus with Ubuntu image made by Joshua Riek.

I followed instructions on readme page, but i can't install it using apt-get or installing it from a deb file, because my system doesn't have a lot of amd64 libraries like libc6:amd64 (>= 2.34) , libgcc-s1:amd64 (>= 3.0) , libglib2.0-0:amd64 (>= 2.31.18) ,libgtk-3-0:amd64 (>= 3.16.2) , libpng16-16:amd64 (>= 1.6.2-1) , libqrencode4:amd64 (>= 4.0), libstdc++6:amd64 (>= 5.2) , libx11-6:amd64 but they are not installable.

However, while looking at issues, i noticed what several people still managed to install it on ARM SBC, like here, here, and here

What i'm missing here? How they managed to install it, even when not everything works as they hoped.

Have you tried building it from source?

`git clone https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot cd linux-wifi-hotspot

#build binaries make

#install sudo make install`

Thanks for the suggestion, i managed to install and run this program. In order to install and run this, i had to install following libraries and programs: libglib2.0-dev, libgtk-3-dev, libglib2.0-dev, xmlto, libqrencode-dev, iw, hostapd
