I've just finished off sorting out the ability to compile blurt from source.
There was a number of issue preventing it most notably a outdated lib on the Hunter Repo.
I've basically gone through bit by bit knocking one error after the next to get it to work.
Some errors are beyond my ability to fix at the moment but thankfully they are only on the tests and a couple of utility programs. They are not essential for blurt to function so I simply removed them from the build process for the time being.
They will need fixing at some point though.
This will give people the option to build from source and develop blurt or simply run a node without using docker.
I'm not sure what I'll do next, I might dig into the web frontend side of things a bit as that is one of my stronger skills.
Also would you believe that prior to working on this I had absolutely no idea how to work my way around cmake.. It's been a good learning experience.
