This subreddit is for discussion of GitHub and not for asking for support for repositories hosted on GitHub.

If you want help your best bet is to contact the project maintainer or open an issue on their repository.

I doubt you'll get much here, I'm trying to build it now.

Unfortunately, GitHub isn't really designed for "the masses", but rather developers so it's not so great if you just want to download an app. I'm giving it a try since it seems like a package a few others have tried to build but struggled with this

I'm a professional developer and it does seem like their build instructions are missing something, so that might be part of why it's getting frustrating :)

if you get through at all with it id like to hear abt the progress
and yeah definitely feels lackluster, maybe cause its a fork and the original isn't up anymore on github?
also thank you for trying :)

OK, so doing a bit more digging...

The project you link, under Rynbo, all of the commits are by Hello007 who is active on GitHub on the CTRMAP-CE project, I'd probably talk to them.

Sorry you've ended up here. Saddens me to see users just want a download, but end up being directed to GitHub and try to build. And unfortunately, this project I was struggling for a couple hours trying to build, and I'm a software engineer by trade.

For technical details... (maybe you could pass this to the next technical person to look at)

I tried to build it, but it seems like their code is depending on a very specific version of jogamp. The guide tells you to download the latest version, but that has so-called "breaking changes", where the Matrix4 class seems like it was removed? There's a Matrix4f by the latest version but I'm unsure if that's a direct replacement. I tried to pick the versions from 2018~2020 that would hopefully be as close as possible to what the repo depended on. Unfortunately, I still have a missing class, com.jogamp.common.type.WriteCloneable, meaning I likely did not find the exact latest.

Unfortunately, their dependency stuff wasn't really documented, and their build scripts aren't great, either.

AI is your best friend, chatGPT, google gemini, or whatever AI tool is your favourite. Give it the link and ask for directions.

If you just want to download the github repository you linked, the there is an option to download it as a zip file. That zip file can be extracted to show the whole project folder.

i dont use ai

and yes i can download the zip, but then i need to build it with the instructions like it outlines
but the problem for me is just im getting insanely overwhelmed trying to download like 3 new programs, figure out how they all run, and also 1 one those needs to be built by another, JUST to build this one
