I've tried to figure out, but my cmake-foo is not quite strong.

If you need any other information, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I believe you have cloned the repository and tried to build.

This is a typical FAQ (I've got couple of exactly the same question/issue). Building from repository requires the latest Sagittarius installed from the tar ball. The error message from CMake is complaining that there is no regex_stub.c file which is generated by dist.sh during release process (or developing process).

To build the developing repository, you need to do the following steps:

1. Install the latest Sagittarius from tar ball
2. Clone the repository
3. Run ./dist.sh gen in the source directory to generated required files
4. Run CMake

This instruction is also written in HACKING file. I'll also make a page to describe the above steps.

Right, that's what I did. Building from tarball works. This issue can be resolved now.

Thanks
