on my machine alvr_render/src/alvr_binding.h is symlinked to ../../alvr-monado/build/alvr_server_core/alvr_server_core.h

the folder alvr-monado/build/alvr_server_core is empty

[amoshydra]

The alvr_server_core is empty due to failure to run cargo xtask build-server-lib.

I tried to run the whole build inside a container in podman following (https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/Building-From-Source#streamer-building).

I manage to build up to 84%, but still getting header not found issue.

[The-personified-devil]

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but as it stands this is pre-alpha and thus heavily relies on hacks to just make it work on my system, including symlinks and has no thorough build process. Once it's far enough I'll create some ci to automatically make builds for testing purposes.
