BasicApp (or any other) doesen't compile on Ubuntu 18.10

Do you have any ideas?..
flag ‘-fPIC’ was added

Have you tried to build Cinder with CINDER_BOOST_USE_SYSTEM=1?

did not work that way, cmake error

Hi! I had the same problem. First make sure you have entire boost garbage installed:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

And then from the newly created build folder in main Cinder directory run:

cmake … -DCINDER_BOOST_USE_SYSTEM=1

The “D” is important.

Cheers!

Hey,

you don’t actually need to pull the entire Boost madness but rather only the dev packages for libboost-system and libboost-filesystem.

Also, I suppose it is just a typo but the command should be cmake .. -DCINDER_BOOST_USE_SYSTEM=1 ( note the .. instead of ... for the parent path )

Cheers,
Petros
