Any suggestions on how to make this step work?

Thank you :)

I'm guessing this is addressed in #151 -- you need to run sudo apt install build-essential because it was left out of the original instructions for Ubuntu. I have installed this successfully on Linux Mint 20 (based on Ubuntu 20); I happened to have already had build-essential installed, so ping me if you need help.

@rootwork This did it for me on a Debian 10. I think it should be in the readme.

[PierrickG34]

Hi @rootwork, thanks for this command but it's still doesn't work :(. Same problem as in the beginning for me

[rootwork]

@PierrickG34 What OS are you on?

[emilcarr]

Looks like you're missing libconfig. Try sudo apt install libconfig-dev

[PierrickG34]

@rootwork

$ lsb_release -a

@emilcarr Nope, I've already install this one before. I try with this : sudo apt install cmake libevdev-dev libudev-dev libconfig++-dev build-essential but it's the same error.

I came across this same problem and solved it by building the binary in a docker container. Here is a gist showing how to do it https://gist.github.com/kbialek/625bfe7c3a285529989374b9febd5ac8
