Impossible to launch the application on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

[lit-af]

I've downloaded the application but I can't run it.

Would you consider building an appimage for linux instead of an app that's dependant on shared libraries provided by a specific version of the OS.

UPDATE

I've attempted to build manually but there's another version issue.

The x-IMU3 GUI is built for Ubuntu using CI. Here is the last successful build for release output. Perhaps this output useful in understanding your issue?

[lit-af]

The issue I have is that by building on Ubuntu latest (24.04.1 LTS) you're only supporting the latest version of Ubuntu. That's not great for compatibility. I'm using other tools that prevent me from upgrading to 24.04, I have to stay on Ubuntu 22.04.

The build issue comes from the precompiled API, I'd have to build everything from scratch for it to build on 22.04 LTS.

I don't have the time at the moment, but would you be open to a PR adding an AppImage release build in the future?

[xioTechnologies]

If the precompiled API is an issue then I would like to fix that separate from any GUI issues. I presume then that you are also unable to use the ximu3 Python package or run the C or C++ examples?

We will look into AppImage for the x-IMU3 GUI.

[lit-af]

I dunno about the examples as I wanted to use the GUI for data collection. I'll have to run more tests. I believe I might be able to use the pre-compiled API if I use gcc-12 instead of the default gcc-11.3.

[xioTechnologies]

I would be surprised if the pre-compiled API has this compiler limitation. It is a static/dynamic library with a simple header file. It uses some C99 features but I presume nothing gcc-11.3 (released 2022) does not support. Let me know what you find.
