build error executing make on Ubuntu 23.10

[Hil Liao]

ON my Brand new Ubuntu 23.10 installation on AMD Ryzen 7700X and msi b650-p pro wifi motherboard, executing make shows the following error. I think the bash scripts are compatible with GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release.

To Reproduce
$ git clone https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot

Try use bash

[Hil Liao]

I did. Here's the version:

GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Is there a specific BASH version needed?

[Toby Cm]

You have the same bash version as mine, try pkg-config glib_compile_resource gio-2.0 and see what is the result

[Hil Liao]

nothing returned

I tired with the latest code and got a different error:

make
mkdir -p build
Run 'sudo make install' for installation.
Run 'sudo make uninstall' for uninstallation.
cd src && make
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/hil/Downloads/linux-wifi-hotspot/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/hil/Downloads/linux-wifi-hotspot/src'
make: *** [Makefile:5: all] Error 2

is ui/glade missing?

[Toby Cm]

Did you install all of the build dependencies from the README?
sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev build-essential gcc g++ pkg-config make hostapd libqrencode-dev libpng-dev

[Hil Liao]

Thanks for helping. after installing, make succeeded;
