MrNeo's/Sonik-br GDCard manager fix on arch linux

[chrisrlink]

after many head scratching hours on Arch Linux to get Card Manager to work I've finally found the solution like this post if it helps you

well at first running the Linux Binary via terminal yeilds a dotnet 3.1 error for this you need to first make sure yay is built on your system most arch distros have yay but vanilla arch doesn't
on vanilla arch input the commands as followed
1) sudo pacman -S base-devel and make sure git is installed too
next go to your downloads folder in terminal
2)type git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git&&cd yay
3)makepkg -si (will build yay and install it)
part 2 dependencies of gdmenu
first off get dotnetcore 3.1
yay -S dotnet3.1-bin yay well ask you some things delete dependencies for the build once done (I usually select no)
modify pkgbuild (no)
start build& install (yes)
next it'll complain ICU isn't installed.....thats weird isn't icu installed OOB?, fact is it's trying to find an older version (69.1) where the newest is 71.1 as of writing luckly 69.1 is still on aur so type
yay -S icu69-bin
like dot net same options apply
after the build run the binary again and it should run

[chrisrlink]

step 2 it's git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay sorry for the typo

[chrisrlink]

for ubuntu/debian i would recommend downgrading icu to 69.1 cause idk if both can coexist more than likely not

Arch Linux is probably the worst version of Linux in the world, it's probably easier to run this on a Linux from 10 years ago

Hi chrisrlink,
I've updated the app to dot net 6.
I would like to know if it works for you on your linux distro. If you try it out please let me know.

The latest build works fine on Arch Linux. Are there any plans for parsing redump images and converting them to the gdi format?

Nah, Modern distributions are much easier to use than an older ones.

Good to know that its working o Arch. Thanks!
And no, I don't have any plans to support/convert redump images.
If anyone manages to get them converted in a multi platform way using only dotnet then I can accept a PR. I don't want to use external tools for this.
