Describe the bug
I can't install comby on Windows WSL. The error message is:
[+] Downloading comby 1.7.0
[+] Download complete.
[+] Installing comby to /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/comby: error while loading shared libraries: libev.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[-] comby did not install correctly.
[-] My guess is that you need to install the pcre library on your system. Try:
[*] sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev && bash <(curl -sL get.comby.dev)
Naturally, I verified that libpcre3-dev is properly installed:
> sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev

libpcre3-dev is already the newest version (2:8.39-9).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libfreetype6
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.

Expected behavior
It should install properly.
The docs should probably mention this as a dependency.
I'm happy to attach any additional information here. Otherwise, my WSL installation works just fine.
I can't dig up much information on libev, in general. I'm not sure why it's not installed on my machine -- any hints?
Hi there! This change should help, which hints to install libev
via the install script now: e154566. The updated script just needs to make it's way up to the get.comby.dev
link. The other reference to libev
is in the README so it should be covered :-) Thanks
