cpp_utils missing

[steven-varga]

The library seem to be missing some parts:
/usr/local/include/etl/std.hpp:21:32: fatal error: cpp_utils/compat.hpp: No such file or directory
from "/etl/std.hpp" the inclusions are not provided
....
// cpp_utils
#include "cpp_utils/compat.hpp"
#include "cpp_utils/tmp.hpp"
#include "cpp_utils/likely.hpp"
#include "cpp_utils/assert.hpp"
#include "cpp_utils/parallel.hpp"

investingating source tree, no files in git directory.

Method of installation:
git clone https://github.com/wichtounet/etl.git
cp -R etl /usr/local/lib

Hello,

cpp_utils is a sub module, therefore, you need to do a recursive clone:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/wichtounet/etl.git

I also recommend only copying the headers:

cp -R etl/include /usr/local/lib/include/
cp -R lib/include /usr/local/lib/include/

I hope that helps :)

used git clone --recursive, same issue.

Hi @josephjaspers

Sorry about that.

Do you a lib/include/cpp_utils directory in the directory you clone with --recursive ?

Can you give me the command you are using for compiling and the error ?

Thanks

[josephjaspers]

I simply used:

git clone --recursive
found the issue, you must include both the:

etl/include
AND
etl/lib/include

This seems counter-intuitive to a header-library. Why not put the etl/lib directory into the etl/lib directory so users won't need to include these two directories separately?

[wichtounet]

You are right, you need both. I forgot to mention this in the Readme. I fixed it. Thanks :)

I didn't want to fix the dependencies of the library with the library. But this may not be ideal indeed as you pointed out.
