Strategy 1: Use pre-compiled system packages instead of building from source
- install.sh: Add python3-gi, python3-cairo to apt-get install
- install.sh: Add python-gobject, python-cairo to pacman install
- install.sh: Install only bleak and bluezero via pip (skip compiled packages)
- README.md: Update dependency instructions with system packages
- README.md: Add explanation of why system packages are preferred
Strategy 2: Add CI integration test for fresh Debian/Ubuntu systems
- tests/test_installer.sh: New integration test script
- .github/workflows/test.yml: Add installer-test job with matrix for Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04
- Tests reproduce real user experience and catch missing dependencies
Benefits:
- Zero compilation time (seconds vs minutes)
- No build tools needed (meson, cmake)
- No dev headers needed (libglib2.0-dev, libcairo2-dev, etc.)
- Faster installation on resource-constrained devices (Raspberry Pi)
- Prevents future dependency documentation issues
