compile error with gtest

[danwdart]

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...
but I'm doing the usual "mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ && make"
and getting a gtest error. Perhaps you're missing a CMakeLists or I'm missing a library or something?

Full output of make:

Environment is Ubuntu 16.04.

I had the same problem, but there is a working binary in the bin/ folder! Looks like it errors, but it still generates a usable binary!

[danwdart]

Aha, I hadn't realised this and was using the windoze version with wine... which works just as well actually.

[makc]

doing make assimp2json instead of just make makes this go away.

[danwdart]

Aha, thanks, I think I found the problem that the testing library was using a deprecated repository.
I'll make a PR.

Never mind - this is in the upstream project!

[danwdart]

The project should probably look to sync with upstream for this, I don't know what's involved in API changes though.
