Troubleshooting

Windows / MacOS

Doesnt compile / doesnt work

Write a new issue here and dont google anything!!1

Linux

Notifications dont work

There are Two solutions:

Switch to libnotify:

Just add the new feature to cargo: cargo build -r -F libnotify
Libnotify sucks in many situations, but its cross-compiling and always work

Make a desktop file:

Enter the repository folder and run: ./misc/create-desktop.sh
You'll get a desktop file contents, just edit paths here and write it to a new file in the ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications
All of these, with adding icons and other, makes this command: make install (using gnumake package)
But make sure, that you have .local/bin in the PATH variable, otherwise it won't work.
Now, if you'll run with the desktop file, GNotifications will work perfectly.
