Hi Pixel-47,

Thank you for reaching out. Could you please provide more details of the issue and the env in which you are building gmmlib?

@Pixel-47,

Could you please provide more details such as targeted OS, build flags, and the complete build errors logs so that we can rectify this sooner.

And again, thank you for highlighting your interest in Intel gmmlib.

that error is all it says, as for me, i'm on linux mint. i followed the build instructions the best i could but i am also stuck here. it really doesn't help that to me at least, the build instructions are a bit vague

univac@AMIGA-XP:/gmmlib/build$ cmake [-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= Release | Debug | ReleaseInternal] ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/gmmlib/build/Release" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Debug: command not found
ReleaseInternal]: command not found

i get the same errors with a different filepath if i try in the home directory. like i said, i'm confused by the vague build instructions

Hi @FirewallDaProtogen / @Pixel-47,

Thank you for providing the failure logs. This is what I was looking for. Now, I see that the build instructions are wrongly used. That is why I insist for every issue out there, on providing full failure logs as build scenario varies from user to user.

DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is cmake which is passed to build system to indicate the type of build (Release | Debug | ReleaseInternal) by which the library is to be built and this flag can take only single type at a time. i.e Either Release or Debug or ReleaseInternal at a time.

The build instruction just consolidates all 3 types just to signify that it supports such types and does not intend to pass all the three at a time. Most of the time the Release is used unless you have to debug and do not want compiler optimization.

So your build command should be just, cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. or simply cmake .. without any type mentioned, by which it builds default as Release type.

Also we will plan to provide build instructions for each of the case without consolidating to avoid confusion.

Marking this issues as done in c6380d3db11cf3528a02097ce4ed9dab0335dca8 by updating more build details.
