Have you installed Glog? I assume you have to install the library via package manager.

I have the same problem, and libgoogle-glog-dev is installed. I'm on debian 11. The basic_wm file must be in a specific location maybe ?

I have this error too. I think it is because the glog library now uses cmake instead of make. https://google.github.io/glog/0.7.1/

I think the most likely reason is that the pkg-config tool is not installed (so sudo apt-get install pkg-config). I've added this to the README in #8.

I've also added automated builds for the latest versions of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch as of now (06/2024). So closing this for now, but please reopen if still running into issues.
