Hi @aagrawal05. Could you try compiling with clang? My environment is Ubuntu 20.04 & clang++-8 and I can successfully build the legacy branch.

Ok, edited the CMakeLists.txt and built again with clang++14. Gives a different error. https://pastebin.com/Z4Tp3t90 Should I try again with a lower version of clang?

Yes, maybe clang 10 or 8 if possible!

Ok, so I've tried with clang++-11 which seems to be the lowest that 22.04 can install and gives the same error as clang++-14. I'll try building from source but is there any other way to compile this? Or alternatively could you please direct me on how to install clang++-8 or 10 on Ubuntu 22.04? Thanks in advance

Our installation document provides a clang10 tool chain that you can use

Hi @aagrawal05. If you haven't succeeded yet, could you try Ubuntu 20.04 (in docker if you don't have another environment)?

[aagrawal05]

Alright, I'll try that. Sorry for not replying, got busy with some school work. I'll update you guys whether I managed to get it working hopefully this week.

I assume the problem has been resolved so I'm closing this issue. Feel free to reopen if you meet further problems.
