Hello all,  
Could someone help me to build CasparCG for Linux?  
I tried Ubuntu (as suggested) then CentOS, but without success.  
I tried docker or “manually”, but without success.

The main errors are:  
error: expected primary-expression before ‘(’ token  
error: ‘lexical\_cast’ is not a member of ‘boost’

in rows similar to this:  
return state\_proxy(boost::lexical\_caststd::string\>(key), data\_);

I think I installed all prerequisites.  
Thank you very much for your help.

Lapo

I am interested in this as well. Running CasparCG in Docker on something like RancherOS would be ideal but at this point I would settle for anything thats not windows.

This looks like a missing include in monitor.h from a recent commit, but I don’t know why it would still be able to compile on windows…

I have been doing almost all of my dev work for the past month on linux (debian 10) with no real issues. I cant vouch for long term stability though

Hello Julusian,  
in which file should I readd the monitor.h include, so I can retry to compile?  
Thank you very much.
