Hello there, I've been trying to run cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. atfer creating a build directory and navigating to it but I'm getting the above error. Where could I be going wrong ?

Hello! After you clone a repository (git clone https://github.com/donadigo/eddy.git), which I assume you've already done, you need to enter the root of the Eddy's source code:
cd eddy and then execute all the following commands like cmake ...

I'm getting this in the output

I have tried doing that, but to no avail. I cloned the project, navigated to Eddy using cd eddy and run the cmake command but still ended up with the error. Another question, at what point do you create the build directory and navigate to it so as to run the cmake command ? I'm confused.

What distro are you using? Creating the build directory happens after cd'ing to eddy source folder.

[kodewise]

Hey, I've managed cding into the src folder inside eddy directory and executing the command 😊. From there, how do I proceed? I'm using Elementary OS 0.4.1 7 Loki

Just follow the next instructions:
Execute sudo make install and that should compile and install Eddy to your system.
Also curious: why do you want to compile Eddy from source?

[kodewise]

I was just curious to learn about compiling it from source code. So will I create a build folder inside the src directory then cd into it and run the cmake command again?

No, all you need to do is:
git clone https://github.com/donadigo/eddy.git
cd eddy
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
sudo make install

That's it.

Thank you so much for that clarification. I'll try afresh and give you feedback.

Thank you. All commands work now. I also noticed you can download it straight from app center.

Final question, does installation from source have the same result as installing from the app center ?

Installing from AppCenter is the preferred way since it contains the stable, tested version of the application. Compiling from source provides you with the latest "commit" with the newest functionality that may not be released as a part of an update in AppCenter or in general. Essentially source mostly is not what is in the AppCenter.

No, all you need to do is:
git clone https://github.com/donadigo/eddy.git
cd eddy
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
sudo make install

That's it.

Hello, i followed exactly those steps but i keep having this error... im using ZorinOS Core, any help?
