Hi,
In terminal, ‘./yb\_build.sh release’, ‘./yb\_build.sh’ and ‘YB\_USE\_NINJA=0 ./yb\_build.sh’ succeed. But in CLion, the CMake output error message as below. I am using CLion 2022.3.3 on AlmaLinux 8.7, with yugabyte-db source code version ‘Commit 661f4736 by tnayak, 03/24/2023 01:49 PM committed 03/28/2023 08:02 AM parent 3831c854’.
Below is the screen shot of the CMake configuration in CLion. Any other configuration needed for CMake in CLion?
