Debian has removed libappindicator, while most distros still support it.
Could you try this workaround:
signalapp/Signal-Desktop#4761 (comment)

Same issue on fedora 33 as of a couple of kernel updates back. It still works on a machine that has not been updated yet (5.12.9-200.fc33.x86_64). On updated system, fixed with

sudo dnf install libappindicator-gtk3

On Ubuntu this can be installed with

sudo apt install libappindicator3-1

I guess the idea is to have everything ported to libayatana-indicator ,

See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libayatana-indicator
https://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/IndicatorsTransition

The patch is probably as simple as
apt install libayatana-appindicator3-dev

Main concern is other distros, and older systems. People will be trying to get the client for all kinds of machines.
So far the client has been generically available; it might be time to just package it.

[tibequadorian]

Is it possible to have a configure script to allow both libraries like other projects do?

Is it possible to have a configure script to allow both libraries like other projects do?

Do you have an example of a similar-ish project using both, just for reference ?

[aramg]

master branch updated with option to compile against ayatana-appindicator

[Rong-Tao]

On Ubuntu this can be installed with

sudo apt install libappindicator3-1

For me, another command is needed as well:

sudo apt-get install libayatana-appindicator3-1
