Hi, @slimak2
The problem is written in the output: SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND;SC2Api_Proto_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND

Please carefully follow instructions in the README.

I am following, but i dont now how to set the variables SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR and SC2Api_Proto_INCLUDE_DIR. i dont see anything in README about those variables. Please tell me in witch step i did mistake.
I tried to set variables as
SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR="/mnt/minerva1/nlp/projects/ai_in_games19/s2client-api/commandcenter/src:$SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR"
and as
SC2Api_Proto_INCLUDE_DIR="/mnt/minerva1/nlp/projects/ai_in_games19/s2client-api/commandcenter/src:$SC2Api_Proto_INCLUDE_DIR"
but there was no difference.

The variables are set automatically by cmake if it finds required headers in the folders described in readme. Your error means that the api and protobuf headers are not where we expect it to find. Thats why I recommend you recheck the readme and the files copied.

Thank you, i see, the problem is that i am installing it on server where i dont have root rights, thats why i moved SC2 API headers and SC2 API libraries in my local folder and i did set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH variables to this location. i was convinced it would work. Can you please give me advice how can i make it work if i dont have root?

There are several ways to fix it.

1. You can edit our findSC2Api cmake macro
   https://github.com/davechurchill/commandcenter/blob/master/cmake/FindSC2Api.cmake
   Search for the 'PATHS' specifications and add there absolute path to your folders.

2. You can change the build routine itself (it requires more work): drop findSC2Api macro and specify all the paths manually. The example could be seen in my repository:
   https://github.com/alkurbatov/suvorov-bot

In general we should support such case, for example Boost allows to specify custom path to the libs and headers. Please file additional issue regarding it or reopen this one.

this is working! thank you so much!
