Error when running cmake: extracting cvpixelbuffer archive failed

[dnivra]

I am trying to build the dev branch(commit: adb3b54) on Ubuntu 16.04.1 and I encounter the following error:

I think the wrong command is being used[extracting... [tar xfz]] to extract a 7zip archive - the archive is not damaged in any way since I could extract it's contents using the file explorer.

Also, is there a temporary workaround for this issue using which the build can resume? I tried manually extracting the archive to QtBuild/10 but cmake still attempts to download, verify, extract and compile.

Hello dnivra,

I think this is a issue with CMake, if you use a up to date version, CMake is able to decompress it correctly. If you could tell me your CMake version, I could give a try.

Thanks for reporting.

[dnivra]

Hello wisk, Thanks for the response! I'm using cmake version 3.5.1: the version available in Ubuntu 16.04.

[dnivra]

I noticed just now that #68 is reporting the exact same issue but on a different version of Ubuntu.

Hi wisk, Any update on this issue? If it is indeed a cmake issue, perhaps a cmake version check should be added when cmake is run?

[dnivra]

Seems like it is a cmake version issue: cmake 3.8.0 decompresses the file correctly. I think cmake has a version check feature which would abort if running version isn't new enough. Adding that should fix the problem.
