I am following the instructions from https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/wiki/Setting-up-the-environment,-building-and-running but unfortunately hit some errors that prevent me from running this on Linux Mint - could anyone help diagnose the problem?

I have just now successfully cloned the repo with git clone https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner

python -m venv env and source ./env/bin/activate work fine, and I get the (env) prefix correctly, but when I next run pip install -r requirements.txt I get the following:

I'm still new to Linux - am I doing something wrong, do I need to manually install some extra packages? Would appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

do I need to manually install some extra packages?

You do. Installing the following packages should be enough in your case:

gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev

And then retry that pip install command.

FWIW, this is likely a duplicate of #221.

I'll try to properly document the required system dependencies on Linux in the following days...

That worked, thank you very much!

Just for reference, and so I can learn something from this - is there any way to tell from the output (or in any other way) which packages are missing, so if anything similar happens in the future I can try solving the problem on my own?

Sometimes you can... From the output you posted:

Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cairo' found

From that I inferred you were missing the libcairo2-dev package. And the other two packages are necessary for the system tray feature to work.

I see, thanks a lot! I did try searching for "cairo" and "cairo.pc" in the Software Manager, but it gave me no useful hits - seems I still have a looooot to learn. Thank you so much regardless!
