Hello,
I am trying to build the samples but I get an error. Any hints? Thanks. this is what I get on the console when following instructions on github page:

xtcdev@xtcdev01:~/repos/cpp-extra-samples/Zivid/build$ cmake ..

Can you confirm that you have rebooted your pc after installing Zivid Software? A problem with ENV variables is that they are not set before you start a new login session. That may be the source of error here.
It seems that $ENV{ZIVID_INSTALL_FOLDER}/bin/plugins/ expands to /bin/plugins/ meaning $ENV{ZIVID_INSTALL_FOLDER} is empty, can you please check the value of this system variable and also the existance of C:\Program Files\Zivid\bin\plugins or similar location where you have installed Zivid?

It seem you are trying to compile this on Linux, unfortunately the latest changes to the CMake files have not been tested on Linux and they have introduced Windows paths. This should be easy to fix and you can expect an update soon.

For now you can comment out the following lines, they are not needed on Linux anyway. The code should then build and run on Linux.

Comment #1 (comment) was assuming that you used Windows you can disregard it.

Thanks,
Yes, I am trying this in Linux. Will give it a go commenting the lines and wait patiently for the updates!

@pbermell this issue is now fixed. Can you please try again?

Be aware however that the Linux experience is still not very smooth. In particular, the examples which use visualization need Qt 5.11 specifically. We're hoping to fix this in not too long. Feel free to ping me in this thread if you run into further issues.
