Excellent, concise info. But I ran into a problem compiling M17Client GUI under 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS/Bullseye. The GUI make began normally, then the entire Pi died. Before compiling, I had updated the package index and all packages. I am guessing the prerequisites may need to be changed under the later OS version.

Looking for suggestions to fix and successfully install M17CLient. Thanks.

Tried installing on debian release, same issue as Rastarasta. I installed a new sdcard with a desktop-version on it, and now compiles the GUI fine
