>From my understanding, much of the development of OpenCog was done with the assumption that all development work is to be done with a specific version of Ubuntu. There are a lot of dependencies, and install paths and available versions of such can be different between distros. So this decision from my point of view just takes one major variable out of the equation.
So my guess is that the work simply just hasn't been done yet to get the automatic build scripts working on a more general scale in Linux (like on Debian for example). Or if the work was previously done, perhaps it broke since then due to nobody else actively developing with that OS version. I was able to get cogutils to build on Windows after much grief figuring out how CMake worked. The complexity of the system and dependency tree is not like most dev work I am used to, so it didn't make sense at first, but now it does. So my advice is that if you're looking to fix any build issues, enable as much debugging information as possible with CMake, and it is just a matter of finding out what is different between your OS version and the version of Ubuntu that the team uses.
