Bug Description

Upon download from site, I followed compilation instructions implicitly. Compilation halted upon not finding a file "archive.h" in the package. I scanned all the package to see if it was misplaced but my locate function could not find any instance in the grub customizer directoory.

Please advise.

Thanks, Tom Kosvic

You have to install the external library "libarchive-dev" (name may differ by distribution) from your package manager.

Daniel,

all went well. app is working,thusfar,from a compilation on opensuse
leap 15.1.

I added archive-devel. I also had to add gtkmm dev files.
I also had to edit grub-customizer cfg file as all the files and
directories on this sysyem were named as grub2.

I'll give it a whirl.

thanks, tom kosvic
