Hello,

Hope everyone is dong fine.

I need a help here please. I forked and cloned the repo to my local (windows). And when I try to run make , I am getting below error. Not sure what I am missing though !

@arungmkumar Does make test work?

[arungmkumar]

@faheel make test runs , but doesn't do anything. Just creates empty dirs bin and build.

gmarunkumar@LFCPCSQ2 MINGW64 /c/Arun/GitHub/ProAlgos-Cpp/cpp (master) $ make test

@arungmkumar You can try making this change in the Makefile and then run make:

-	cd build && cmake .. && make
+	cd build && cmake .. --config release --target install && make

@faheel After the suggested change in Makefile , the below is the result.

gmarunkumar@LFCPCSQ2 MINGW64 /c/Arun/GitHub/ProAlgos-Cpp/cpp (master) $ make CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Arun/GitHub/ProAlgos-Cpp/cpp/build/install" does not exist.
