It didn’t hit me until you said that out loud Sean.

I try not to use Amazon for a lot of reasons.

This is the pc I bought:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-victus-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i3-12100f-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-512gb-ssd-mica-silver/6504334.p?skuId=6504334

I’ve been staring at the Victus for a couple weeks & saw the Amazon link multiple times & it never occurred to me they could be different. ( nervous grin )

So we helped the community by showing the Victus & TPM chip has issues with 19.3 & 20.1?

I imagine the Pavillion works I guess?

Missing 1 line of code?

I misread the error and the Linux Mint forum poster is right, the cstddef header is not included in FrameRateViewer.h.

I have been able to build Vrui (and the full AR Sandbox software) in a LM21 virtual machine with two changes. First, the version number has been removed from the libdc1390-dev package. Edit Build-Ubuntu.sh to change libdc1390-22-dev to libdc1390-dev.

Second, FrameRateViewer.h needs to be patched before building. Add a new line to Build-Ubuntu.sh before “make -j$NUM_CPUS INSTALLDIR=$VRUI_INSTALLDIR” (line 65). The added line should contain “patch -p1 < ../../Fix-missing-size_t.patch”.

Create a new text file in the same directory as Build-Ubuntu.sh. This file should be named Fix-missing-size_t.patch and contain the following text.
```

Remove the old src directory (if still around) and run the new Build-Ubuntu.sh. Let me know if this works or not.

SUCCESS SEAN THANK YOU!

How would you recommend we share your fix for Linux Mint 21 in here & Github Issues I opened?

As a rookie, I don’t want to goof how your fix is shared for everyone who’ll see it in the future.

THANK YOU AGAIN! GO ARTICHOKES!

Congratulations! Now the fun of construction and calibration can begin?

I assume that when @okreylos moves to LM21 the missing include could be added to Vrui for the next release. I don’t think this would cause
backward-compatible problems.

Changing the libdc1390-dev package name will probably be part of an update to Build-Ubuntu.sh when Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and LM21 become recommended distributions. Until that time, the current package name is proper for LM19.

In case this useful for others:

So, for anyone else who has this problem: I created a patch for Build-Ubuntu.sh, that doesn’t require a separate patch file. This will work no matter where the build script is located in your machine. Just edit Build-Ubuntu.sh:

Thanks Sean!

Your solution didn’t work, but I found this one to fix my error.
