OverBind Binary not launching on Arch Linux

[Faalagorn]

It seems that the program won't launch for me, not sure if it's I'm on Wayland, or am I missing some dependencies, or did not install something?

I didn't try compiling from source, especially as I can't find the build script and instructions to do so.

OS: Arch Linux (rolling, testing repos updated 2024-12-28)
Kernel: 6.12.7-zen1-1-zen
Desktop: sway 1.10

Here's the full backtace:

Overbind does use X11 to support detecting switches between windows. But your failure happens before it ever gets to that so that's probably not the issue here, you're crashing when trying to create a new uinput device. My suspicion is that this is due to a permissions issue (you can confirm this by running with sudo and see if it launches or at least gives you an error at a different location).

Just updated the README with build instructions

Building this thing as of rn is kinda hard. (Might not even be possible with the current src idk, I've contacted the devs about that and hopefully we'll gett a CI working sometime)

@Faalagorn you can use this PKGBUILD for now (it repackages the debian version) https://github.com/Twig6943/OverBind/blob/master/pkg/arch-deb-extract/PKGBUILD would be cool if you submitted it to AUR.

Also follow the updated instructions on readme.md it should work.
