Question

fastBPE will not install on windows 11 or WSL

Opened this issue 8 months ago · 5 comments

I have been at this for about 13 hours now and it does not work everytime I try to install I get an error message about fastBPE.cpp like so:
cc1plus: fatal error: fastBPE/fastBPE.cpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1

I just dont understand why this wont work. I mean I have tried everything and I need it since it's a dependency for TransCoder which is an AI that I have to use for a project. I am willing to try any work arounds or suggestions. Please help.

Is your current directory the main folder ./fastBPE (not the subfolder) and does ./fastBPE/fastBPE/fastBPE.cpp exist?

No it's just fastBPE not ./fastBPE

Could I see a screenshot of your folder structure? And is fastBPE.cpp in your folder?
