[Blink] Problems with building/install Blink on Debian Trixie

[Tijmen de Mes]

Hi,

You can find the instructions in INSTALL file in the Blink repository (https://github.com/AGProjects/blink-qt/blob/master/INSTALL).

If all the dependencies are satisfied, it is as simple as ./build_inplace and ./run inside the repository (or in dir the venv if you use that).

However you need cython3-legacy to compile python3-sipsimple and Blink. In Debian Trixie this package is not in the repos and in Debian SID it depends on python < 3.12 while the current python version in SID/Trixie is 3.13.

In order for Blink to work, python3-sipsimple and Blink have to work with Cython3, so they both need to be ported/updated for this to work.


Best regards,

Tijmen de Mes
