I try to compile nlopt package on a linux mint 18.2 virtualbox installed in a Windows 7 host. nlopt makes use of cmake for its build/compilation. After step cmake, I was told to run make, it then returns the following error messages,
CMake Error: cmake_symlink_library: System Error: Read-only file system CMake Error: cmake_symlink_library: System Error: Read-only file system CMakeFiles/nlopt.dir/build.make:1264: recipe for target 'libnlopt.so.0.9.0' failed make[2]: *** [libnlopt.so.0.9.0] Error 1 make[2]: *** Deleting file 'libnlopt.so.0.9.0' CMakeFiles/Makefile2:67: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/nlopt.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/nlopt.dir/all] Error 2 Makefile:160: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 Is this a cmake related issue? Since virtualbox cannot set up symbolic link within a windows host, is there way to deal with this failure? I am totally new to cmake (but am trying to study it now) and cannot track into it. Any advice, especially step by step guide would be greatly appreciated! -- Sent from: http://cmake.3232098.n2.nabble.com/ -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
