Cmake fails with "install FILES given no DESTINATION" about dynamic-application-loader-host-interface HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi. Checking line 274 of CMakeLists.txt shows that the missing value is of the variable SYSTEMD_DIR.
Since you use Ubuntu 16.04 which should already be using systemd I don't see an obvious reason for the error.

Please take a look here and check the output of the command
pkg-config systemd --variable=systemdsystemunitdir
The output of the command should have been the missing value.

Other context that might be helpful:

• Ubuntu 16.04.1
• cmake 3.5.1

It turned out that I didn't need to run this software at all, so in that sense my problem went away. I also won't have time to track it down. Still, it's probably worth investigating - but if you would rather close this ticket, that's okay with me. Thank you!

Thanks for the report.

Hey - I know that this comment is closed, but I ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it. In my case, it turns out that SYSTEMD_DIR wasn't being set earlier because I didn't have pkg-config installed.

Running apt-get install pkg-config before cmake . resolved the issue.

Thank you for confirming. I'll add pkg-config to the list of dependencies.

This is what the error (https://pastebin.com/raw/85JizEdJ) I get if I type apt-get install pkg-config before cmake. Can anyone help?

@smritipillai try "sudo apt-get install pkg-config" (just add sudo) - if you are not root, it will promt you for a password - if you don't have that you can't install pkg-config!
