Hi Ethan,
Conda and manba seem to loook great, but as says your guide :
> Right now it only works on x86_64 glibc Linux.
And I am working on aarch64. So I did not follow the conda way.
But I tried on another env with Clang already there (within NEXTSPACE: Debian
clang version 14.0.6).
So I could build some parts and was stuck at this (I just copied the end,
because all the errors are the same):
OOStyleRegistry.mm:348:7: note: candidate constructor (the implicit copy
constructor) not viable: requires 1 argument, but 7 were provided
class number_style_attribute : public style_attribute
^
OOStyleRegistry.mm:348:7: note: candidate constructor (the implicit move
constructor) not viable: requires 1 argument, but 7 were provided
3 warnings and 13 errors generated.
gmake[3]: *** [/Developer/Makefiles/rules.make:575:
obj/OpenOutliner.obj/OOStyleRegistry.mm.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: *** [/Developer/Makefiles/Instance/application.make:145:
internal-app-run-compile-submake] Error 2
gmake[1]: *** [/Developer/Makefiles/Master/rules.make:297:
OpenOutliner.all.app.variables] Error 2
make: *** [/Developer/Makefiles/Master/application.make:38: internal-all] Error
2
Obviously due to my clang version.
