I'm now using my Pebble with my Linux phone
(news.erebion.eu)
Noticed an MR that fixes building outside of UBPorts: https://gitlab.com/muhammad23012009/rockwork/-/merge_requests/4#58cb4f58166586c1ed7f076c568d41682df3661c
How to build:
cmake .
make
Wrote a simple systemd unit to start rockworkd:
# /home/mobian/.config/systemd/user/rockworkd.service
[Unit]
Description=rockworkd
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/mobian/bin/rockworkd
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
With this, you only need to:
- put the binaries
rockworkandrockworkdinto a folder,~/binin my example - create the unit,
systemctl --user daemon-reload,systemctl --user enable --now rockworkd.service - create ~/.local/share/applications/rockwork.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RockWork
Exec=/home/mobian/bin/rockwork
#Icon=/home/mobian/some/path/to/image.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Now it works.
Hints:
- pairing is done via whatever tools your "desktop environment" uses, not using Rockwork
- at least in my case notifications were empty (but everything else works fine it seems)
- if you can, package it for your distro, once the MR is merged :D
EDIT: The build instructions assume an ARM machine to build on or just building on the phone
I'd mention this in the request as well. It could take a really long time to find someone willing to package it. I'd say it should be packaged once the few remaining issues are solved.
Current state wouldn't make much sense to have in Debian, yes.
