Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_python3"

[Natetronn]

Any thoughts on how to address the following by chance? I'm using Manjaro as well.

❯ cmake ..                                
CMake Error at 3rdparty/nodeeditor/external/CMakeLists.txt:11 (_find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_python3"
  (requested version 1.72.0) with any of the following names:

    boost_python3Config.cmake
    boost_python3-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "boost_python3" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "boost_python3_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "boost_python3" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

Since python2 is not maintained anymore, on Arch and Manjaro, python defaults to python3. I have fixed that compiler error on the develop here: https://github.com/alexge50/gie/commit/1c573e028ba31acfe9c0ca9c27415b88eb6e8690. If you wish yo compile the project do checkout the develop branch. The building scripts will be improved sometime in the future, when I will resume working on this project.

@alexge50 thank you very much! I'll give that a shot.

It's a really cool concept. Looking forward to giving it a try.

Using the develop branch, it seemed to be going well but, I ran into the following after running the make command:

I can open another thread if need be.

Maybe this pull request addresses the issue:

I'll try updating manually.
