Successfully compiled cpp-ethereum -- where is eth?

MrYukonC

After all day struggling to get the build & dependency environment setup, I finally successfully built cpp-ethereum. However, now I cannot find eth (the C++ CLI) anywhere under the cpp-ethereum directory. What am I missing?

Hi! eth is in "webthree" repository

Okay, I'll answer my own question.

In the Reference clients code and builds forum, I found a similar post here: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/3393/building-ethereum-ubuntu-14-04-no-such-file-or-directory-error

It's crazy that the eth/ folder is not included in the develop branch (which is default, BTW) of cpp-ethereum. Seriously? Especially when the various build instructions / wikis specifically instruct you to checkout the develop branch.

This really should be fixed / addressed ASAP.

P.S. How do I mark this thread as "answered"?

So, I just did a new build of cpp-ethereum from scratch using the develop branch.

While it is true that eth is in the webthree dir, I see no indication that eth was actually built in webthree.
