Error while compiling: Install Targets given no Library Destionation for shared library target

[Gandalf1783]

I cannot compile the current version of nanogui.

After I ran the cmake command, this came out:

root@project:~/nanogui# cmake ./

It seems like an error in CMakeList.txt? Im not familiar with cmake, so I have no clue to solving this myself.

Running this on Debian 4.19.208-1 / x86_64.

I just found the docs, but even with a build folder, this will stil result in this:

root@project:~/nanogui/build# cmake ..

Should be fixed in fdf6671, please reopen if it still causes problems.
