Build Error (cpuid.h: No such file or directory)

[mikami520]

Hi, when I install ambf-2.0 on Ubuntu 20.04, it gave an error that the "cpuid.h" is missing. Could you please help me solve it?

What is the architecture of your system? Not sure if this is related, but can you try the suggestions from this issue https://github.com/WPI-AIM/ambf/issues/142.

My architecture is ARM64, I use the VM on the M1 Macbook

Thanks for the info. I don't have access to an M1 Mac and thus haven't tried to build AMBF on a VM. Did you try the solution to Issue #142 and did it change anything?

If that doesn't work for you, I know of a couple of people who tried running AMBF via Docker on the M1 Mac. You can find the instructions for that here:

I will have a try and let you know the further result, thanks for your help!

Great, could you also try this on your VM. In your local AMBF copy, can you comment out this line: https://github.com/WPI-AIM/ambf/blob/ambf-2.0/external/openal/include/alConfig.h#L74

in the file ambf/external/openal/include/alConfig.h from

#define HAVE_CPUID_H

to

//#define HAVE_CPUID_H

and see if this allows you to compile.

@adnanmunawar I had the same issue and tested this workaround on my M1 mac mini running parallels VM Ubuntu 20.04 and it works.

Thanks, Radian, the new commit should incorporate these changes.

@adnanmunawar hi Adnan, this commit did not prevent the error for me. However, commenting out those lines again did work. I guess the commit implementing the if statement does not always work. Just wanted to let you know. I'm using a M1 macbook air running Ubuntu 18.04 on VMWare Fusion.

Thanks for reporting this Youp, I shall take a look at it. I might need your help to test it though as I do not have an M1 Mac :)
