ERROR: Dependency "libevdev" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake about showmethekey HOT 6 CLOSED

Just for the record, here is everything I needed to install in order to be able to build showmethekey on Fedora:

$ sudo dnf install libevdev libudev-devel libevdev-devel libinput-devel gtk4-devel json-glib-devel

I might have missed a thing or two in between though...

from showmethekey.

@AlynxZhou if you'd be interested, I guess I could put together a corp package together, so that installing it is a bit easier for Fedora users 🙂

If you wants to compile some project, you also need the -devel/-dev package, which contains the headers used to compile. In Fedora I think you need libevdev-devel instead of python3-libevdev, this program does not use python.

You may also need libudev-devel (or maybe it's in some systemd package)
