Hey there,

You should start by building the zlib library included with the source code. To
build the included zlib, do this:

cd /(the source root directory)/zlib
mkdir build/linux_release
cd build/linux_release
cmake -i ../../
(enter Release for the build type)
make

Then, to build tinyxmldll, do this:

cd /(the source root directory)/tinyxmldll
mkdir build/linux_release
cd build/linux_release
cmake -i ../../
(enter Release for the build type)
make

Then to build HyperNEAT:

cd /(the source root directory)/NE/HyperNEAT
mkdir build/linux_release
cd build/linux_release
cmake -i ../../
(enter Release for the build type)
make

Check out the README.txt file included with the source code, at the bottom it
has step-by-step build instructions.

the same error. Has anyone built it on Linux? Can anyone point to a step my
step procedure for building hyperneat and its dependencies?
