Dear Maintainer, I tried to track down the segfault and I guess it is related to the usage of "-shared" when linking wminput [1]. Therefore, I guess, the resulting wminput binary is build like a shared object instead of an executable.
A binary built without "-shared" shows a version info with "--version". Kind regards, Bernhard [1] https://salsa.debian.org/georgesk/cwiid/-/commit/bd0f4c89556dbaed72e3082c5273b986cd47c35a#748fb62c420a28ecccff1a9a6c92a29a7dc3f4eb_19_18
