Could NOT find ZSTD (missing: ZSTD_LIBRARY ZSTD_INCLUDE_DIR)

Question

I had an issue while installing headptrack with CMake when running cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. in heaptrack/build

-- Could NOT find ZSTD (missing: ZSTD_LIBRARY ZSTD_INCLUDE_DIR) 
CMake Error at 3rdparty/libbacktrace/CMakeLists.txt:160 (message):
  Could not find dwarf.h, try installing the dwarf or elfutils development
  package.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Answer 1

The solution is to install the zstd dev package instead of the regular, here is the command:

sudo apt install -y libzstd-dev

The solution with the dwarf dev package for the second error:

sudo apt install libdwarf-dev 

Answer 2

On Windows, I had to download zstd from the zstd Github releases page and add these arguments to cmake (adjust your zstd location): -D ZSTD_LIBRARY="C:/zstd-v1.5.6-win64/dll/libzstd.dll" -D ZSTD_INCLUDE_DIR="C:/zstd-v1.5.6-win64/include"
