Why this issue?

After studying responses to previous similar issues, I feel like the solutions mentioned there may not be applicable to the newer ubuntu 21.10 LTS. Previous similar issues were typically solved by updating cmake or gcc to the latest version but in the case of latest ubuntu (21.10), such requirements are already fulfilled.

I just build without test -DIO2D_WITHOUT_TESTS=1

[sarda23]

1 install boost lib
2 install openssl lib
both from terminal

Same problem here:

I actually got it working suppressing the test like @varomix suggested and then also by manually cloning googletest release 1.11.0 in thirdparty folder as suggested here

[behindmagic9]

do you find any solution, i am also facing the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04
-DIO2D_WITHOUT_TESTS=1 , with this removing the test is worse , any alterante solution

[Jack012a]

I just build without test -DIO2D_WITHOUT_TESTS=1

May you share with me where I can add this one into cmake?

I tried to run it through the command line argument but cmake complaint that it ignores the manual input parameter.
