githubpp repository not available

[Scorg]

Hello. I want to help porting MO2 to linux.

Currently the download script fails to access https://github.com/ChipmunkV/githubpp repository listen in dependencies.

I will try to use the one from ModOrganizer2 for now.

Those repos are copies of the ones in the https://github.com/orgs/ModOrganizer2/repositories

The githubpp probably didn't need any changes so I didn't make a copy of that repo. I've added it anyway now.

Overall stuff left to do for a minimal port:

• virtual filesystem (I call it omapvfs)
• fit the virtual filesystem into modorganizer by adding plugin mechanism for filesystems or putting it directly instead of usvfs
• debug the code that deals with going through files and archives
• rethink the code that launches Steam/Lutris and games
• the winapi-PrivateProfile.sh INI file reader/writer and its use in modorganizer

Thank you for quick response.

This may be a wrong place to ask, but does the repo compile? I'm can't even get to compilation step - I get errors from cmake about gtest not being available.

[VelorumS]

Overall it builds, but I may have different packages installed.

For gtest need to install the libgtest-dev package. It happened to be installed on my machine so I haven't noticed it and haven't added it to the list in the modorganizer-deb-packaging/modorganizer/debian/control.

To catch all dependencies I intended to make a minimal Ubuntu install, test the build and then add missing packages to modorganizer-deb-packaging/modorganizer/debian/control in the end.

Strange. I have libgtest-dev installed but cmake still can't find it

[Scorg]

Ok, so I got to the building step. I had to replace gtest and gtest_main with GTest::GTest and GTest::Main resectively. I messed a bit more in cmake_common and other projects and it seems that most of the dependencies I have are older than required (I'm on Mint 20.3):

• gcc is 9.4 but at least 10 is needed (not a big problem, I installed 11. I may be wrong, but this should not affect end users);
• Qt is 5.12 but 5.15 is required (5.12 is missing some new constructors and a moved enum, this should be fixable);
• boost is 1.71 but at least 1.73 is required (1.71 is incompatible with c++20 standard which removed a std::allocator::pointer member. Looks like boost 1.73+ is not getting included any time soon, and I don't know if static linking would work, of if binaries are compatible).

[VelorumS]

In the readme it's mentioned that you need at least Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

It has all those things: gtest with a proper cmake script /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/GTest/GTestConfig.cmake, gcc 11, recent boost, Qt 5.15.

Oh, my bad then. I'm blind.
Thanks
