installation issue

[shani1610]

Hi,
I followed the installation instructions and also the previous issues related to installation but still getting the error:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I installed libboost-dev using apt-get,
later on, also downloaded directly from boost.org the latest for Ubuntu.
I ran ./b2 install command from the /boost_1_82_0 directory,
this created the include folder.

I put the Makefile.txt from mesh repo at the /boost_1_82_0 directory,
and ran:

BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS=/path/to/boost/include make all

what I tried:

• put the full path\relative path
• run only make all or make
• change line 7 in the Makefile.txt to pip install --no-deps --verbose --no-cache-dir
• change line 7 in Makefile.txt from --install-option to --config-settings

More info:
Ubuntu 22.04.3
Python 3.9.18
boost_1_82_0
matplotlib 3.8.2
numpy 1.26.3
pillow 10.2.0
PyOpenGL 3.1.0
pytz 2023.3.post1
PyYAML 6.0.1
scipy 1.11.4
setuptools 68.2.2
wheel 0.41.2

is it possible to install the package without the Makefile.txt? if yes, how?

I'll appreciate your help.
