OBK bash script failed to identify Mx Linux 19

[kuntalkundu]

Any way to install OBK in Mx linux? Bash script can not identify the os.

@kuntalkundu You can always build files manually. It's hard to support all distro. So, this is the path we chose for lesser-known (personal opinion) distros.

Update: As this is based on debian, I guess we can add another string for MX linux.
@mominul What do you think? I think it won't be an issue.

@Adyel Yeah, adding a new one wouldn't hurt 😊 But someone has to do it.😁
@kuntalkundu have you installed OBK using the packages we release?

[kuntalkundu]

after getting the failed identification message from terminal I have installed required packages like rust, qt4 etc manually as described. Later git clone the OBK and installed it. From synaptic I downloaded ibus and essential packages. But OBK only works on featherpad (test editor of xfce in mx linux). I checked locale, set it to US En, restart ibus, restaer session but result remain same. I think OBK should create a tutorial about installing it in Debian stable/MX linux 19. Installing OBK or Ibus in Ubuntu/Debian Sid is much easy. @mominul
@Adyel I made it issue because instruction to report an issue about this type case is already mentioned in OBK github page. I just clicked on the said link.

@kuntalkundu MX linux is a Debian distribution, so the installation method should be similar. Can you elaborate on why you had to compile OBK? Just download the package from the releases page and following the instructions would be enough.

We'll be releasing the new versions with bintray repository in the future. So there will be no need for an install script I think. Installation and updates can be performed using apt or other such tools.
