In raising this issue, I confirm the following (please check boxes, eg [X]):

I have read and understood the contributors guide.
I have checked that the bug-fix I am reporting can be replicated, or that the feature I am suggesting isn't already present.
I have checked that the issue I'm posting isn't already reported.
I have checked that the issue I'm porting isn't already solved and no duplicates exist in closed issues and in opened issues
I have checked the pull requests tab for existing solutions/implementations to my issue/suggestion.
I have used the latest available version of CCExtractor to verify this issue exists.

I have never used CCExtractor.
I have used CCExtractor just a couple of times.
I absolutely love CCExtractor, but have not contributed previously.

Necessary information

Is this a regression (did it work before)? [ ] NO | [ ] YES - please specify the last known working version
What platform did you use? [] Windows - [X] Linux - [ ] Mac : Ubuntu Gnome
What where the used arguments? -autoprogram
Commands I used:

cd src
cmake .
make

Video links

Please make the affected input file available for us (no screenshots, those don't help!). Public links to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc, are all fine. If it is not possible to make it available publicly, send us a private invitation (both Dropbox and Google Drive allow that). In this case we will download the file and upload it to the private developer repository.

Do not upload your file to any location that will require us to sign up or endure a wait list, slow downloads, etc. If your upload expires make sure you keep it active somehow (replace links if needed). Keep in mind that while we go over all tickets some may take a few days, and it's important we have the file available when we actually need it.

@saurabhshri commented on GitHub (Aug 7, 2017):

From your error log @satyammittal , it's evident that the makefile tries to compile /win_iconv/iconv.h even when the platform is Linux. The reason is the set of commands you are issuing.

You are generating makefile from cmake in the same directory where the libraries resides. Please create a separate folder in which you intend to keep the built files so that they don't get mixed with source files.

Please try the instructions as mentioned in the compiling section of the readme file and report back, i.e. :

git clone https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor.git
cd ccextractor/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../src/
make
./ccaligner

@saurabhshri Thanks it works. May be some cache issue of cmake. :)
