[Ubuntu] Unable to build TEV; `uint64_t`, `nBytes`, `uint8_t`, and `uintptr_t` not declared in scope.

[tdelanversin]

I'm on a debian machine, and followed the steps in the installation guide for building TEV, and am unable to finish the build. I'm not very experienced, but I believe the issue might be my compiler, and would appreciate a little bit of explanation with regards to what I need to do if the problem is my machine.

My current package versions are:

Thanks for the help!

Hi, thanks for reporting this! Could you try re-cloning the project and compiling again? You can alternatively delete your build folder, run

git pull origin master
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive

and then try compiling again.

I suspect the issue was an incompatibility between the (old) version of OpenEXR tev used until now and the (very new) version of gcc you've got. I migrated to a newer OpenEXR version just now and am hopeful that it fixed the issue.

Works perfectly, thanks a lot!
