Just wonder what have I missed or should I play with the cmake list file to make it just build ?

I believe that errors with undefined symbols are when you are pointing it at a system library instead of the one on /opt that it was meant to link too. ie: The library it was pointed at is a different version that doesn’t have quite the same interface values.

Perhaps you didn’t run or follow the install_deps.sh instructions quite right? Not my strong area though, so might need to wait until a developer takes a peek at this thread.

Good luck!

libsndfile is from Ubuntu bionic repo, i disabled libsndfile in cmake and it build succesful, thanks
