How to install on latest fedora?

[supertriodo]

I love this project, it's simply amazing and it was working great on my opensuse.

But this summer with a new PC I tried fedora and I can't find a way to install sc-controller.

The installation instruction for fedora (https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Akozec&package=sc-controller) returns a no data webpage.

Thee AppImage of the latest stable version from 2020 output:

Any idea? and thanks for such an amazing work you have done with this esential linux app!

[kozec]

Yeah, sorry about OBS, it kinda kicked me out some time ago.

I'll try to rebuild appimage using updated libs, maybe it will work on more recent distros that way.

[supertriodo]

That would be great, thanks so much!

[kozec]

Just as a test, will this "build" work for you?

SC_Controller-x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz

It should be reproducible by simply doing git checkout and running ./appimage-build.sh on latest commit.

[supertriodo]

No luck.

Ok, I have vague idea where this comes from, but I have yet to find how whether only solution is to build one's own openssl. If you have some kind of compact package available in fedora, installing it may work as temporar workaround.

[supertriodo]

I'm sorry but I'm new to fedora, don't really know how to look for a compact openssl package.

Ok, I have vague idea where this comes from, but I have yet to find how whether only solution is to build one's own openssl. If you have some kind of compact package available in fedora, installing it may work as temporar workaround.

Probably meant, compat no?
We do have openssl.1.1 on Fedora, but it just makes a
free(): invalid pointer error.

[alterNERDtive]

It appears both the build service builds and the AppImage are still broken. So before I start building and/or fixing things myself, is there a point? Or is more of this unmaintained?

Don’t get me wrong, that would be fine. Nobody is entitled to free software being maintained indefinitely. But I wouldn’t invest my time on top in that case :)
