Build jevois host failed. How to fix?

Question

Apologies for what should be fairly trivial for a dev - unfortunately I'm a hardware guy.

After some initial issues getting the required packages (I put a PR in github for the additional PPA's), I'm failing with the build scripts.  Build fails with errors as below, both as user and root.  Any/all help appreciated.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltbb

Answer 1

Cause was missing TBB dependencies, for those curious.
sudo apt install libtbb-dev libtbb2 fixed this.

Also needs libgles2-mesa and libgles-mesa-dev to build jevoisbase.

Success though - jevois can build and run on Mint (and probably other Xenial based distros). You need to add deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety main universe
and deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-toolchain-r/test to /etc/apt/sources.list then remove after building.

trying to build debs for xenial now, do you remember what you needed that yakkety repo for? We seem to be doing ok so far with just adding the toolchain-r repo which is needed for g++-6

Answer 2

Thanks for letting us know, we just released jevois 1.1 with a new apt repo for ubuntu 17.04 amd64

If you are building on another distro we also updated the INSTALL instructions but you have to do it from scratch from source.

Let me look into those extra depends for tbb (it's already in there, maybe different name) and opengl-es.
