nlohman-json fails to build

This is the build configuration:

And this is the error:

it may or may not be similar or related to #162

[dtoubelis]

Here is my current workaround:

nlohmann-json_%.bbappend:

do_install_append () {
    # move libraries into an appropriate location
    if [ -d "${D}/usr/lib" ]; then
        rm -rf "${D}${libdir}"
        mv "${D}/usr/lib" "${D}${libdir}"
    fi
}

FILES_${PN}-dev += "${libdir}/cmake"

but there may be a better way through CMake

On master we are on 3.7 release where this problem is already fixed.

its fixed in nlohmannn/json via nlohmann/json@3184e9b#diff-af3b638bc2a3e6c650974192a53c7291

So you can cherry-pick this and propose as a backport for meta-openembedded/zeus as well.

[dtoubelis]

The patch fails to apply to version in zeus, so I guess I will be using the version from master.

[LocutusOfBorg]

Hello, can we close this bug?

[dtoubelis]

Sure. It is too old and likely irrelevant by now.
