Issue compiling on Linux Mint

[benmunkres]

Hi,
When I try to compile from the source on Linux Mint, after following the instructions, when I run make I get the error:

 /home/bill/glPortal/external/RadixEngine/source/data/texture/TextureLoader.cpp:5:27: fatal error: FreeImagePlus.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
external/RadixEngine/CMakeFiles/RadixEngine.dir/build.make:1406: recipe for target 'external/RadixEngine/CMakeFiles/RadixEngine.dir/source/data/texture/TextureLoader.cpp.o' failed
make[2]: *** [external/RadixEngine/CMakeFiles/RadixEngine.dir/source/data/texture/TextureLoader.cpp.o] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:142: recipe for target 'external/RadixEngine/CMakeFiles/RadixEngine.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [external/RadixEngine/CMakeFiles/RadixEngine.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

How can I fix this?
Thanks

Hello,

I can not find freeimage in the Mint package search function but it is included in Debian stable https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libfreeimageplus-dev
Since I read that Mint is based on Debian you might be able to install the package from that site with dpkg.

You should also be able to compile freeimage from source and create a nice package with checkinstall http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html

I hope this helps.

@piperson Did you try to install the package?

Hi, In my case (linux mint 18.3), a sudo apt-get install libfreeimageplus-dev did the trick!

I did install the package and was able to compile successfully.
thanks for the help.
(sorry for the wait; my computer temporarily broke)
