buypeeb
a simple dotnet core program that allows you to track auctions on yahoo auctions japan, written in c#. designed for and with linux, but works on windows.

cd buypeeb-cs
sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
dotnet run
quick install (arch linux)
mkdir buypeeb

buypeeb
installing prerequisites
you'll need the dotnet core sdk. buypeeb is written for .NET 5.0, so you'll need to make sure you install that SDK version.
debian
follow these instructions to add the dotnet repo and install dotnet-sdk.
arch linux
sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
other linux distros
follow these instructions to install the relevant dotnet SDK.
windows
- download and install ".NET 5.0" from this page
- run
dotnet build- this should pull in gtk3 automatically - if not, you'll need to install it yourself
i have no idea how to install mono with gtksharp properly on windows, and believe me i tried
compiling
dotnet build
running
dotnet run
compiling a standalone version
the standalone versions are rather big, so it's a good idea to compress them for distribution.
linux
run ./release.sh.
the binary will be located at ./out/release/linux/buypeeb, with a zstandard
compressed version at buypeeb.tar.zst in the same directory.
windows
run .\release.ps1.
the binary will be located at .\out\release\windows\buybeep.exe, with a zip compressed version at buypeep.zip in the
same directory.
unfortunately, however, this program won't work on machines that don't have GTK3 installed, and installing GTK3 is quite an undertaking. a solution for this is in the works, but there's not really anything to be done about it right now.
