Missing libxnvctrl package causes crash

Description:

MangoHUD crashes when the libxnvctrl package is not installed, as soon as the package is installed MangoHUD starts normally.

Probably caused by the lack of the -Dwith_xnvctrl=disabled argument (README MangoHUD).

I believe that without this argument you would have to make the libxnvctrl package a dependency.

Btw, a user gave me feedback that version 0.8.0 is working correctly on AMD cards, it seems to me that the crash is only caused in the scenario of the presence of an NVIDIA GPU and the lack of the libxnvctrl package.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): 0.8.0-1
  • Kernel Version: 6.13.2-zen1-1-zen (64-bit)
  • Graphics Platform: Wayland
  • Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have an NVIDIA GPU
  2. Do not have the libxnvctrl package installed.
  3. Use MangoHUD with some application ($ mangohud vkcube)
  4. Get a crash
