brew repository needs update

[zc2tech]

You will encounter issue like "python not found" "directory not found" issue if you use brew version.
But if you compile from this project and install it manually and create symbol link in your PATH to dmenu-mac.app/Contents/Resources/dmenu-mac , everything will work even under terminal.

The reason is, the author forgot to package a new Homebrew version after he had fixed Scripts/dmenu-mac

I don't see build instructions in the readme. Could you give me a quick rundown of how I get this going? I have cloned the repository. I don't see a configure/make file or similar.

@Soundtoxin If you don't feel like setting up xcode and building the app yourself, you can download the latest binary from the artifact published by the github workflow. This is the latest one at the time of writing https://github.com/oNaiPs/dmenu-mac/actions/runs/20524206098/job/58964547916#step:6:20.

I expect these artifacts to expire after a certain period of time (30 days?), so you might need to look for the link in the workflow for the latest commit, hoping that there is a commit that's recent enough.

Once you have the app, you either launch it to have it running in the background and listen for cmd+space or make sure dmenu-mac.app/Contents/Resources/dmenu-mac is in your PATH if you want to use it in your scripts.
