Unable to build on Manjaro linux

[zubayrali]

Hello,

I cloned the repo, ran the commands as instructed but it throws an error after I run npm run make:linux-x64 I've never worked with electron before, I couldn't find a fix after hours of googling, please help.

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that.

This is something related to electron-forge, a starter framework I use to simplify this packaging process, and it works good, I never run into this before.

You can try npm run start first, before you try to backage it, because package is much complex than dev for electron

I don't know if TiddlyGit works in your machine, I don't have a Linux machine to test. But AFAIK it still have some bug in Windows...People can't create and open a new workspace.

you could test on a virtual machine 😅

oh, probably you need to comment out all these tsImportPluginFactory, they seem to only work properly in MacOS, which shouldn't be, these are JavaScript...

Hey sorry for abandoning this, I got busy with some work-related stuff, I'll try debugging this in my free time, thank you

Ok, I've update many things, so maybe bug is already gone. Just work on your job first, its totally fine.
