Make sure that you run recursive clone

git clone --recursive https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec

or if you do not want to clone again:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Let me know if it works.

I had trouble building with Ubuntu 16.04 as well. Switching to 17.10 solved my build issues.

@Manouchehri Can you please share with us your build log? RetDec can be successfully compiled on Debian Jessie, which was released in 2015, so I believe it should work on Ubuntu 16.04 as well. Did you use a proper version of CMake? RetDec requires at least CMake 3.6.

[Manouchehri]

@s3rvac Just noticed that 16.04 only ships CMake 3.5.1, so it's going to require mucking around with to get going.

Replacing bionic with xenial in my Dockerfile should reproduce the issue.

Not on my desktop right now, but I'll try to remember to post a log later. Personally I use Docker whenever possible, so using 17.10 is an acceptable solution (but I understand for some it may not be).

@udishamir Can you please verify whether the recursive clone (or submodule update), suggested by @metthal, fixed the build for you?

I am closing this as there was no reaction within the last four days. If the suggested fix did not work for you, feel free to reopen the issue.
