SteamVR-OpenHMD fails to compile.

[hedmo]

hi . i am trying to compile SteamVR-OpenHMD but it fails with :

CMake Error at subprojects/openhmd/cmake_install.cmake:95 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/SteamVR-OpenHMD-20201004/work/SteamVR-OpenHMD-20201004_build/openhmd.pc":
No such file or directory.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

cd /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/SteamVR-OpenHMD-20201004/work/SteamVR-OpenHMD-20201004_build && /usr/bin/cmake -P cmake_install.cmake

regards hedmo
build.log

EDIT: i have OpenHMD on my system. is it possible to use that ?

SteamVR-OpenHMD uses a submodule for openhmd so if setup correctly should automatically build. There is some information in the Readme about that.
Also love the avatar MM7 is my favorite ;)

@TheOnlyJoey . as far a i can see in the build.log openhmd is compiled but fails because ti cannot find openhmd.pc. correct me if i am wrong.

I don't know that anyone has tested actually running make install for SteamVR-OpenHMD. Usually, one just builds it and runs ./register.sh to register the plugin files directly from the build dir.

We have discussed allowing using an external OpenHMD before - it is a good idea, just noone has done the build changes for that yet

@thaytan thank you for the reply. as i am running all my "custom" package (not provided by gentoos package manager ) it is better to have them tracked there
either way to not have conflicts in the future and clean out deps afterwards.i hope this can be fixed so i can put this global over all of my boxes as i have 4 vr sets.and using my github for manage my custom packages.
