Build issues with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[omkarnathsingh]

I looked through all of solutions given here before, but they are not working now. I am using code from master branch of this repository and have followed all steps as given in Readme for Linux.

Error Logs of make:

@omkarnathsingh The build instructions are for Ubuntu 14.04, I’ve never tried building it on more new versions.

[Aokromes]

#4275 ?

[omkarnathsingh]

@john-preston any chance to support newer versions anytime soon?

[john-preston]

@omkarnathsingh I'm not sure this is a good time investment :(

If I build a version on Ubuntu 14.04 it runs on all Ubuntu versions up till 18.04. But if I build version on Ubuntu 18.04 it is likely it won't run on the previous versions and I end up building an app for only the latest OS version, which is sad.

@john-preston so after next april this won't be an issue?
Or are you planing on further support for 14.04?
Just curious ;)

[john-preston]

@nachfuellbar I still don't know how to decide on the client side if I can update to the next version or not.

I don't like the idea of dropping of some systems support with an option that they'll try to autoupdate and then just won't launch any longer.

So right now I don't know how to drop support of any of Linux systems.
