My CMAKE version == cmake version 3.10.2
is it in the below mentioned issue , i read correctly that we need - CMAKE version == 2.Something , to make LMMS ? Add CMake 2 support #4530
#
Closest issues and pull requests text - which i have read through.
Cant figure out if - anything from them is a solution for me -
1/ CMake tries checking sys/time.h for sndfile and libsoundio == https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/2815
2/ Add CMake 2 support #4530 == https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/4530

Hi! Thank you for the detailed report.

Do you have libsndfile installed as per the compiling instructions? There are a few dependencies that are required for LMMS to build. See here for quick instructions to install all the recommended dependencies for Ubuntu.

@RohitDhankar For your information: As I said in my other comment, the latest stable version is 1.2.1. The version you've built is labelled as 1.2.1, but it has a number of additional features and is less stable. It represents our 1.3 development branch.

You can get an appimage for 1.2.1 here: http://lmms.io/download/#linux
