Compilation errors while compiling C++ examples in shogun/src/shogun/any c++example file while using local installation of spdlog.
The following errors are displayed:

Which version of spdlog did you use? Is this from the spdlog master branch?

[krutikabapat]

@gf712 Yes it is from the spdlog master branch. I am using spdlog version 1.5.0

@krutikabapat did it work with the 1.5.0 version then?

[krutikabapat]

@gf712 I tried it with 1.5.0 only but It did not work. :'(

@krutikabapat I seem to be able to compile it with a local 1.5.0 version. What error do you get with 1.5.0? If it is a linking issue, you need recompile your local spdlog with -fPIC (cmake -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON)
