I got simmilar errors in the cmake stage. Note, that I'm building folly because I also failed to build the proxygen project, and am trying to build its dependencies separately. What follows is the output from the cmake run:

`evxx@evxx:~/Projects/folly/folly/_build$ cmake configure .. -- The C compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (apply_folly_compile_options_to_target): Unknown CMake command "apply_folly_compile_options_to_target".

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000". This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Mind sharing some more info such as which OS and version of CMake? Currently Folly requires CMake 3.0.2 or later as seen by: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2 FATAL_ERROR) in the top-level CMakeLists.txt.

Hello, i have the same problem. The version of CMake is 3.11.0-rc2.

There are some solutions maybe?

@ineslyl , make sure you install all the dependencies on Ubuntu via apt-get (https://github.com/facebook/folly#ubuntu-1604-lts)? After that, try removing CMakeCache.txt, and running cd _build && cmake configure ..

The line in your log -- Could NOT find LIBIBERTY (missing: LIBIBERTY_INCLUDE_DIR) suggests that you are missing libiberty.

I figured out what the problem was in my case. Paths in (h)files list are relative, and I had folly in /home/martin/build/folly-2018.04.09.00/, which means the pattern /build/ matched all my files, and removed everything from the list, hence the empty list error. Changing the pattern to my absolute path fixed it.

I am facing the same issue, in recent release (version-1.1). can anybody guide me in fixing this issue? Thanks

the fix for me was to stop untarring with --strip-components=1. Which my build tooling was doing for me.
