Tracy-0.9 GUI fails to build on Linux xubuntu-18.04.6.

Tracy-0.8.2 GUI was building fine.
This is the error I get with Tracy-0.9:

It looks like /usr/include/capstone/ is too old on xubuntu-18.04.6.

It's not really a Tracy bug, but perhaps CS_GRP_PRIVILEGE can be made optional in Tracy
to be able to build on older Ubuntu distributions?

You can download and install a newer version of capstone and it will compile.

Right. For reference, I did:

$ sudo apt-get remove libcapstone-dev  libcapstone3
$ git clone https://github.com/libcapstone/libcapstone.git
$ cd libcapstone
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin CC=clang-15 CXX=clang++-15 make -j12
$ sudo make install

And then I could build tracy-0.9:

$ cd tracy/profiler/build/unix
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin CC=clang-15 CXX=clang++-15 make -j12 debug

Closing, as you have found a solution.

Generally speaking, support for 7-year-old libraries is not something I'm interested in.
