I had problem with compiling it on 18.04, but people here told me that we supposed to do it using 12.04 or 14.04. Ok, no big deal, just install 14.04 I thought. Not so fast - still there problem. People, come on, there problems anywere.
I made it till make:
I use 17.10 and I have it working with a PR that I submitted. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x-docs/pull/136 I’ll merge this and update production docs later tonight.
I’ve got approximately the same on 17.10:

Can you send me all of your steps, please. I can’t reproduce this so far.
I see the problem, please share with me all the commands you ran, in order.
I created VirtualBox’s machine with 17.10.
Installed these packages, so that I can install Guest Additions: sudo apt-get install gcc make perl
Installed guest additons and added user to vboxusers group so that I can use shared folder: sudo '/media/joe/VBox_GAs_5.2.8/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run'
: usemod -aG vboxsf $(whoami)
Updated: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Rebooted.
Installed packages that you prescribed.
Went to buld directory, created linux-build,
cd linux-build,
cmake ../..,
make
Thanks, ok, VirtualBox might have an issue that doesn’t seem to exist in Fusion or Parallels. I can test it too, tomorrow. Still downloading the 18.04 daily. My internet connection is like 1mb.
