I support this. Are you a Debian maintainer who would be able to be of assistance?

[gl00ten]

little, but i have a guy. I'll ask him.

[NotAlexNoyle]

any update to speak of?

[gl00ten]

Not from me, sorry. My friend just was able to tell me the basics on create a .deb but I haven't tried it yet.
If someone wants to pick this up go ahead.

Hi again, I was trying to turn this into a snapcraft (linux universal package) but I ran into the glibs problem.

I solved this problem last time I installed this but I don't remember how now. I'm doing trying to build on ubuntu 16

This is the erro I get:

configure: error: Package requirements (libgflags) were not met:

No package 'libgflags' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBGFLAGS_CFLAGS
and LIBGFLAGS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

And these are the related files I have in my system:

Can someone help?

Please no anti-social Windowsy closed-sourcy dog-eat-dog-world malware like docker/snap/flatpack/…
Just a plain package manager package for one’s OS is the correct and social teamwork way to do it in the open source and Linux community.

A package where this actually cannot be done, is a broken package.

(Dependency hell is a defect of bad package managers. Simply don’t use such package managers, just like other defective software.)
