Please help! Thanks!

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)

This shouldn't happen.....

[nikp123]

Try cloning the repository instead of downloading it

I think you're missing the git submodules file

[banancc]

Try cloning the repository instead of downloading it

It's still the same :(

[nikp123]

Can't reproduce. Do you mind sharing your configuration?

Workaround: try installing iniparser independently.

[banancc]

Do you mind sharing your configuration?

Intel® Pentium(R) CPU G6950 @ 2.80GHz × 2 integrated graphics

[nikp123]

Apologies, I meant OS/distro.

[nikp123]

Also interesting to note is:

Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Are you using a remote filesystem by any chance?

Try below before running cmake.

export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1

[banancc]

Apologies, I meant OS/distro.

Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.3 LTS

Nop

[banancc]

Try below before running cmake.

export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

[nikp123]

are you sure there's a .git folder in the root directory of the project?

fxp. /home/banancc/Downloads/xava/.git

because that's really not supposed to happen.....

[banancc]

are you sure there's a .git folder in the root directory of the project?

I think yes

[nikp123]

xava-master - thats the zip file (not clone)

[nikp123]

But I'll try to fix it for those who hadn't cloned anyway

[banancc]

xava-master - thats the zip file (not clone)

so i need to just zip it right?

[nikp123]

No just do the following in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/nikp123/xava

[banancc]

I'm too dumb for that or what? :|

[nikp123]

try that but with export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1

[banancc]

export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1

when i need to type that command?

[nikp123]

just before you run cmake

[banancc]

I replaced my cmakelists.txt with the one you attached

[banancc]

just before you run cmake

Do these steps instead:

export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1
git clone https://github.com/nikp123/xava
mkdir -p xava/build
cd xava/build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

and that should be it. If that fails, then I seriously have no idea.

EDIT: You're trying to run cmake in a wrong directory. Of course it's going to fail. You forgot to cd xava before you did the mkdir command.

Thanks a lot! :) But now i have that:

qwerty@ubuntu:~/xava/build$ make -j$(nproc)
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

[nikp123]

did cmake succeed? show me the entire log if you can

[banancc]

I deleted all xava files on my pc and started again with

Do these steps instead:

these commands and all worked fine!

Thanks a lot for your support!

[banancc]

So how can i run xava on my desktop? Or i need something more?

[nikp123]

just do ./xava

or to install do: make install

you need to run it as sudo

[banancc]

OMG! It works! Thanks a lot! I hope to understand how to configure it!
