cmake is not compiling....

It fails with the following output:

Could you post the whole output of the cmake and make run, as well as CMake and Make version?

[10110111]

It looks as if your CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER is set to /usr/bin/make, which shouldn't be so. Try removing your build directory and re-running cmake from scratch. If it still fails, please post the cmake command line you run.

Deleted build directory and reran....

This confirms my guess. Please show the cmake command line.

I've tried them all.... cmake .. cmake ../ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ ..

BTW, why do you have to build EDB from source? Ubuntu already has edb-debugger package to install.

Anyway, assuming you really need to build, I've just checked the following sequence of actions with Xubuntu 20.04:

1. Started the Live image downloaded from here
2. In software-properties-gtk program enabled Source code, clicked Close and Reload
3. Issued sudo apt build-dep edb-debugger to install all the necessary dependencies
4. Installed git
5. Cloned EDB
6. In the EDB source tree issued mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..

And this configured the build system without any problems.

So your problem is somewhere in the system configuration. For some reason CMake selects /usr/bin/make as the compiler, although it's not a compiler.

How did you install CMake? Did you apply any special tweaks to it?

[netsecdosdos]

Awesome. Thanks. I just ran the package from apt-get and was successful. Before I was just trying to compile it from source. I can go back to that if it is applicable.

[ped7g]

do you have some compiler installed? some package like build-essential? some gcc or clang?

[netsecdosdos]

Yes, I was just able to use apt-get. Will look to follow previous guidance with src compilation.

Looks like this was not an edb bug but instead a misconfiguration of the build environment.

Closing.
