There is a small problem using linc_dialogs in Arch linux which I came across when building an app with Ceramic.
The problem with compiling the app in Arch is it could not find the glib-2.0 includes, this is because in the linc_dialogs.xml the glib path is set to an incorrect path which may be the correct path for Debian based distrubitions like Ubuntu.
to fix this I simply replaced line 32 with this line below, essentially changing the path to the correct location at usr/lib/glib-2.0
<compilerflag value="-I/usr/include/glib-2.0" if="USE_GTK3" />After fixing that there was a new issue caused by harfbuzz, I found a solution in the Haxe discord server, it was as simple as changing line 48 so that it's included with gtk3.0 as well.
<compilerflag value="-I/usr/include/harfbuzz"/>If you're lazy and want to do a quick copy and paste, here is my full xml file.
