How to build and install

---

Mint 20, LMDE 4:

sudo apt-get install warpinator

Ubuntu 20.04, related:

# Install build dependencies listed below, note minimum versions:
sudo apt-get install python3-grpc-tools python3-grpcio

# Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator.git

# Enter the folder, specify version:
cd warpinator

# Check out appropriate branch (1.0.6 is current official, master is development)
git checkout 1.0.6

# Try to build. If this fails, it's probably due to missing dependencies.
# Take note of these packages, install them using apt-get:
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign

# Once that succeeds, install:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *warp*.deb

# If this fails, make note of missing runtime dependencies (check list below),
# install them, repeat previous command (apt-get install -f may also work).

Note for Mint 19.x and Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) users:

Add this PPA to satisfy dependencies, then you can follow steps above: https://launchpad.net/~clementlefebvre/+archive/ubuntu/grpc?field.series_filter=bionic

Otherwise (and this is valid anywhere if you want to avoid packaging):

meson builddir --prefix=/usr  (This is typical).
ninja -C builddir
sudo ninja -C builddir install
