Setting up a new Linux VM, Yet another build problem. Posting this in case a) it helps anyone else, b) maybe I did something wrong.
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Followed the instructions in the VCV manual to build.
When I got to make dep it failed making RTAudio. Said I had cmake 3.5, but needed at least 3.10.
Since 3.5 is the version of cmake that goes with 16.04, I had to download and build cmake. It wouldn’t build, however, because it couldn’t find SSL. so sudo apt install openssl-dev.
