Compiling DRACO, a C++ program

Question

[alruta13]

Hello, I am trying to install and compile DRACO but I am having quite problems when I try to compile it. I have download all the programs he needs but when I compile, something happens with dlib package so i get this error:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLINK_TIME_OPTIMIZATIONS=ON -DNATIVE_BUILD=ON -DARMA_NO_WRAPPER=ON

It looks like the file dlib.cmake is missed from dlib, the target "dlib::dlib" don't exist and "MY_TARGET_NAME" is not build. I have look for all these without results. Have you any idea what can be happening? Here is the CMakeList (so you can see the lines it indicates as error):

Thanks you very much.

Looks like you are missing TBB library. What OS are you doing this on? Here is a link for Ubuntu's version of this library: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tbb

[alruta13]

I am using ubuntu, yes.

How did you install the prerequisites?

A typical issue, when compilations against particular libraries fail is, that the respective -dev versions of the libraries are not installed on the system. Did you install both, libdlib-dev and libbtbb-dev?

[alruta13]

I install the prerequisites using conda, how should I install them to be sure I have the devv stuff?

I think that I have solve all the errors except this last, have anyone any idea about it? THANKS! CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (target_link_libraries): Cannot specify link libraries for target "MY_TARGET_NAME" which is not built by this project.
