no support for Debian Bullyseye

[MrEnergy64]

Hi, first I though I found the right tool for my Clevo PC50 laptop, but then the awake:

compiling src/clevo-indicator.c
Package appindicator3-0.1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `appindicator3-0.1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I've tried to install your recommended lib: libappindicator3-dev

but Debian Bullyseye didn't know that lib and installed another one which will not work with your prog:

Note, selecting 'libayatana-appindicator3-dev' instead of 'libappindicator3-dev'
libayatana-appindicator3-dev is already the newest version (0.5.91-1).

Any chance to get it running on Debian 11?

Hello Hasan Karaman,

I've installed your recommended lib's (still Debian Bullseye):

The following additional packages will be installed:
gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator-0.1 libayatana-indicator-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Those *.pc files are not exist on the Debian system. Nor/any of them.

Any further suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Norman, can you just try again with this repository (take a look at README): 'https://github.com/grizzlei/clevo-indicator'.

[MrEnergy64]

Thank you for your really fast feedback. The installation looks much better now:

Can you share your kernel version?
