Unable to install voicecommand due to missing library

[chrisspen]

Attempting to install voicecommand on Ubuntu 16 fails with the error:

 voicecommand: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

even though I installed all listed dependencies.

I suspect the issue is because I'm on Ubuntu 16 and I'm using your pre-compiled binary which dynamically links and was likely built on an older distro. Ubuntu 16 has a similar library, but it's called libboost_regex.so.1.58.0.

The obvious solution is to recompile, however, your makefile is incomplete and doesn't work on x86. Attempting to make gives me the errors and warnings:

[Colin1964]

@chrisspen Have you tried the solution described in #58 ? This solution here was based on libboost 1.55.1 as the latest version so you may either need to apt-get 1.55.1 (if you can?) and use the command line instruction as is or alter the original command line instruction to read (if you have 1.58.0) "1.58.0" ie.

Create a symlink called libboost_regex.so.1.46.1 that points at libboost_regex.so.1.58.0 with:

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.so.1.58.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1
