Error during build: install TARGETS given no OBJECTS DESTINATION for object library target

[mikebocian]

Hi there,

I would like to code something using your library, but unfortunately I cannot build this using the provided steps. I am using Linux Mint.

The console output and some basic info about my setup is pasted here.

sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:50 (install):
  install TARGETS given no OBJECTS DESTINATION for object library target
  "cmmk_obj".

I hit this too.

Removing "cmmk_obj" from that line (50) in CMakeLists.txt did the trick for me. That and specifying -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-fPIC after seeing the next error with the suggestion "recompile with -fPIC".
