blend2d: Have problems building the library

I’m under Arch Linux (btw) and I have downloaded the source code from the download page.

When I’m trying to run cmake using the following configuration: cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/rempas/.local \

I do get the following error:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Should I try with the “git” version?

Glad it works, there will be a new version soon 😃

Blend2D git repository doesn’t bundle asmjit library, only releases do. For convenience, Blend2D would look in either parent directory or 3rdparty directory for asmjit - if it cannot find it, it would error.

BTW this is documented here in a section called “Building From Source”:

It does two configurations - Debug and Release. Basically it’s used mostly for development to configure the project quickly.

The output seems good, there are no errors, so I’m not really sure what was the problem initially. Does it build?

cd build/Release
make

You can try git master, but I don’t think it would be any different.

This log is btw not sufficient to diagnose the error - full log would be nice (without cmake cache) and the C++ compiler you are using as well (and target architecture).
