thanks have a good day.

Aborted (core dumped)
on building from the terminal in Ubuntu 18.04
What should I do?

Hello, I know that this is old repo, but I also have the same issue like shivamprasad99 with free(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped). Maybe someone resolve this issue already?

Fixes to prevent program execution abort on free(): invalid pointer.

1. File: ./src/rendering/texture.h, line 60

    from: void operator=(Texture texture);
      to: Texture& operator=(Texture other) noexcept;

2. File: ./src/rendering/texture.cpp, lines 207-213

   replace:

    void Texture::operator=(Texture texture)
    {
        char* temp[sizeof(Texture)/sizeof(char)];
        memcpy(temp, this, sizeof(Texture));
	memcpy(this, &texture, sizeof(Texture));
        memcpy(&texture, temp, sizeof(Texture));
    }

  with:

    Texture& Texture::operator=(Texture other) noexcept
    {
        //Implemented using move assignment.
    
        //Guard self assignment
        if (this == &other)
            return *this;
    
        if(m_textureData && m_textureData->RemoveReference())
