Unable to compile "build_linux.sh", fatal error (backtrace.h is missing)

I had the same compilation error on Arch Linux.
here is my build log.

   23 | #   include <backtrace.h>

the problem was libbacktrace is not included in gcc on Arch.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50262

so I tried to install libbacktrace manually.

yay -S libbacktrace

then I have no compilation error and application worked!

What system are you running on? Normally the backtrace library should be found via find_package(Backtrace REQUIRED) in the CMakeLists.txt file.

Looking at src/CMakeLists.txt it does not have a include_directories(${Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIRS}). Maybe that's what's missing?

What do the first few lines of build_linux.sh say? This is what I get (up to the point where it looks for backtrace):

I'm running Manjaro Linux (Arch).

Installing libbacktrace-git fixed it.
