• libgee-0.8-dev
• libsoup2.4-dev

Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions

• Build a .deb package (this will build GameHub-*.deb package in the parent directory):

git clone https://github.com/fyr77/GameHub.git
cd GameHub
scripts/build.sh build_deb

• Install built package:

sudo apt install ../GameHub-*.deb

Other distributions

• Build:

git clone https://github.com/fyr77/GameHub.git
cd GameHub
meson build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=debug
cd build
ninja

• Install:

sudo ninja install

Do not remove build directory if you want to uninstall GameHub later, build directory is used in uninstallation process.

Depending on your distribution, installing dependencies may differ. Should you have any issues getting it to run do not hesitate to ask.

It WORKS! Proton's back, baby!

Somehow, it didn't work using the Debian method for me. Good old meson/ninja combo worked.

Just in case: what is the cleanest way to uninstall it, since it wasn't installed through the Software Manager?

@nigelpyjamas I believe sudo ninja uninstall in the build directory should do the trick.

Ok. Thank you so much again for your help!
