Near the end of building Polygeist, well the cmake command, I get

Libraries have been installed in:
   /mnt/d/LLVM/NewPolygeistDir/build/pluto/install/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

What is this install? I see candl in three palces in the repo

Can I build Polymer on its own and add it in or is there a workaround for this on WSL2?

[ivanradanov]

That execute_process script (tools/polymer/build_polymer_deps.sh) is a recent addition, and we have made it work for some of our machines, however, it is not very robust yet.

I have not encountered that issue specifically, I am sorry. You could try to run the script itself with the polymer dep build directory of your choice and try to debug it.

For reference, I had the same error in my Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 machine.

I tried running ./configure inside build/pluto/pluto/candl, and got this error:

configure: error: Please install texinfo.

I could build Polygeist after installing it by running:

sudo apt install texinfo

@ivanradanov It has been a while since your comment, and I'm not sure how the script works now, but I think ideally it should propagate the error message instead of simply saying:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.
