Error Installing: There was a Make error - Readline.h

[emonegarand]

Nevermind, I found a solution.

Hey not sure if this the proper place to put this but I'm trying to build the most current lci build so I can use 1.4 features but won't build saying it can't find the readline.h file. I checked my MinGW installation and that header file is missing. I'm running on Win 10 and I can only find options for the Linux GNU version, where can I get the required file or is their alternative?

the output file

I have the same problem

Can you please tell me how to fix it

[SaiasiZKS]

Well mine goes like: C:\Users\User1\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\lci>install.py --prefix= Running cmake with command: "cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="" ." and writing results to configure.out.

You need to install the libreadline-dev package for whatever system you are compiling on. I found this out on both Ubuntu and Cygwin on Windows. Once I did that everything compiled fine.
