It may be as easy as installing tidy5-dev or tidy-dev. I don't know what package name they're using on Debian. If it is tidy-dev, make sure the major version number is 5, so you don't get the ancient tidy. If you do need to install tidy from git, you might be able to do something like: CXX=g++ cmake But I'm not sure. I don't know why cmake is checking for cpp as the C++ compiler. As Karl says, this is the C preprocessor. Maybe Debian's cmake is buggy or misconfigured? Anyway, if you can get tidy installed with one of those methods, you may have better luck building edbrowse, which does not use any C++ these days. -- Chris
