I have found a library for OpenRGB for hardware synchronization, but it only has builds for debian, not universal builds. I was wondering how to compile the library from this file (OpenRGBHardwareSyncPlugin-release_0.8.zip)
the library should be a .so file.
Download the latest stable version. It is only the so file.
I am on version 0.8 because I had an issue which i cannot remember with 0.9
If you can’t remember the issue…why not try it again? The actual stable version 0.9 contains only the .so file?
Whatever you want to show (without any valid URL)…as already said, when you extract the zip from the latest stable version 0.9 (shown in my screenshot from gitlab), it only contains the wanted .so file.
the library is compiled for debian and does not load, it does not actually have to say debian in the filename in order to be only for debian.
see here for the plugin list
in this snippet even though it does not explicitly say so, the plugin does not load. ( i also tried twice)

perhaps @malcolmlewis knows how? He (correct me if I’m wrong with the pronouns) has helped me in the past. (And if i remember i have only ever done my own OBS package once without trouble)

@40476 you did not clone the repository… that is a download.
if I clone the repo it gives me a version other than 0.8, right? My OpenRGB installation is on version 0.8 for a reason which I cannot remember.
@40476 Tumbleweed is using OpenRGB 0.9? Build it and see how it goes, or switch to 0.8 with git checkout release_0.8 and work through the errors…
@malcolmlewis I did that but now I have this error,

Your error message said that it couldn’t find #include <glibconfig.h> That header is provided by glib2-devel After you installed glib2-devel you need to try your build again, your computer isn’t just going to magically go:
“Oh, glibconfig.h is here now!” and resume the build.
well how do i try again then, re-clone the repo? I honestly have no clue.
