CMake checks for appindicator when most of distros moved to Ayatana

[almera-vs]

✍️ Bug Description

This issue only affects Linux users. I'm currently on Debian 12 and it uses Ayatana project libraries instead of outdated appindicator.

So for example I have:

libayatana-appindicator3-1

instead of:

appindicator3-0.1

Which means I cannot build Soundux, because it fails after requesting for an old package I cannot install and completely ignores that I have installed Ayatana version of package. Including dev packages.

Other people also noticed it doesn't go well together: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bug/1964964 https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1823708.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651349

For more context here is Debian message about moving to Ayatana (from 2018) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/03/msg00506.html

The libraries: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libayatana-appindicator-dev

Libyatana appindicator: https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator

Proposed changes: make a transition to Aytana or add support for these packages

🔁 Steps to reproduce

Build the project, it will fail when checking for module 'appindicator3-0.1' I tried both building from source and from MPR

I attempted the Ubuntu download, the flatpack download...and now building from source. All 3 failed, last one with this error.
