Build & install gamescope for fresh-install Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)

Due to what appears to be dependency issues, the gamescope package isn't avalible for Ubuntu 24.04. So here's a guide on how to build and install gamescope for Ubuntu 24.04

  1. Pull latest git of gamescope

$ git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope.git

  1. Install needed dependencies to build gamescope

$ sudo apt install libbenchmark1.8.3 libdisplay-info1 libevdev-dev libgav1-1 libgudev-1.0-dev libmtdev-dev libseat1 libstb0 libwacom-dev libxcb-ewmh2 libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxmu-headers libyuv0 libx11-xcb-dev libxres-dev libxmu-dev libseat-dev libinput-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-res0-dev libcap-dev wayland-protocols libvulkan-dev libwayland-dev libx11-dev cmake pkg-config meson libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxtst-dev libxkbcommon-dev libdrm-dev libpixman-1-dev libdecor-0-dev glslang-tools libbenchmark-dev libsdl2-dev libglm-dev libeis-dev libavif-dev

  1. Build gamescope with meson first

$ meson build/

  1. Buid gamescope with ninja

$ ninja -C build/

  1. If the ninja build didn't produce any errors, install it to your system.

$ meson install -C build/ --skip-subprojects

I had to run git submodule update --init after cloning the repo, as the gamescope build instructions say. Before running it, I got an error that the reshade directory did not exist.

I'm on Kubuntu 24.04, and am getting two errors:

after meson build/ , I get subprojects/wlroots/meson.build:107:17: ERROR: Dependency 'wayland-server' is required but not found.

after ninja -C build/ I get ninja: Entering directory 'build' ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory which I am assuming is because of the meson issue.

3.14.26 breaks building in Ubuntu 24.04 with the wayland-server error, so a revert to 3.14.24 or the last commit before the wlroots update (5e8fddf) is needed to be done first before starting the build.

Here's what I used: git reset 5e8fddf --hard; git clean -fxd; git submodule update --init --force --recursive

Here's a link to the last commit before the wlroots update: ValveSoftware/gamescope@5e8fddf

And here's the breaking commit: ValveSoftware/gamescope@3542c4d

Thank you so much! I've been trying to install this for days now and that finally worked.
