Cannot build on GNU/Linux : CMakeLists are missing (?)

[valkheim]

Hi, I cannot build retdec following the README instructions. Apparenty, some CMakeLists are missing. I unsuccessfully tried to git checkout tags/v3.0

Any idea ?

You probably did not clone recursively as stated in the instructions.

Hi. Yes, @Leseratte10 is correct. When cloning, you need to clone recursively to get the contents of all submodules, which contain the CMakeLists.txt files that you are currently missing. I suggest cloning the master branch as it has many bugfixes over the v3.0 tag:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec

I am closing this as a duplicate of #4.
