Errors when compiling gsa

[MauJFernandez]

I installed at first without noticing the 2020.1 requirement, and got a bunch of errors when compiling gsa, I tried debugging it but it's really out of my knowledge, so after some retries with no luck, I installed a fresh 2020.1, did the install but got the compilation errors once again, and got the brilliant idea of checking the version and surprise, got 2020.2, the first script this repo runs has a apt -y dist-upgrade which of course upgrades the Kali to 2020.2, so new kernel with Linux headers... So, I deleted the VM, started again fresh (all installs using the official VMWare images), commented that line out... aaand yes, got the same errors once again, here they are:

I get the exact same issue, seems like an issue on Greenbone's side - https://github.com/greenbone/gsa/issues/2317 It was labeled as a bug on their repo so I assume it'll get fixed asap.

[elekgeek]

still not solved, I am stuck at gsa install step :D

same error...

try with "cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gvm -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE (gs)"
