Installing llama.cpp on WSL2 (CPU Only)

[syafiqmuda]

Hello, newbie here, I am currently learning how to use vLLM, ollama and now llama.cpp for my hobby playing around with AI.

I dont have a pc master race setup, so I just use mostly on laptop, yes A LAPTOP. my spec were:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
GPU: AMD Radeon Graphic (Basically built-in CPU graphic)
RAM: 16 GB

So here is my use case, I wanted to run llama.cpp in WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04). and I stuck on

cmake -B build

and I got error state that:

Command 'cmake' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install cmake  # version 4.0.2, or
sudo apt  install cmake  # version 3.22.1-1ubuntu1.22.04.2
See 'snap info cmake' for additional versions.

to someone said that I dont have compiler in my system here is the result:

gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0
Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

So what I do next is install:

sudo apt install cmake
cmake --version
cmake version 3.22.1

Then I continue install cpp using

cmake -B build

but I got stuck here

TQ for the reply will try it, to see if it work

[syafiqmuda]

I have manage to build it without error, and I notice, but when I try to run llama-cli -m model.gguf I got result show llama-cli: command not found.

after I have successfully build, I notice the there is missing /Release folder.

Update, it seem when I build the file, it will not create a /Release file. everything were inside /bin.
