    # Build & install [gamescope](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope) for fresh-install Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)
    *[Due to what appears to be dependency issues](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058493), 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](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope)

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

    2. 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`

    3. Build `gamescope` with **meson** first

    `$ meson build/ `

    4. Buid `gamescope` with **ninja**

    `$ ninja -C build/ `

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

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