Comment 1 Emmanuel Lepage Vallée 2020-04-10 20:50:35 UTC

I don't really expect it to work right now. The problem with Banji is that many of the dependencies are moving targets with unstable APIs. It works for a while then break until I fix it. I gave up on making the build reliable (and given up trying too). I plan to fix it as a one-off in a few weeks to upgrade some dependency. My old appimages are getting rusty. I mainly use it for the SIP part.

Is there any specific reason why you want Banji? I mean, for SIP or for GNU_Jami/Ring.CX network?
