Im trying to build latest versions of breakdancer under ubuntu 12.04, cmake version 2.8.7, GCC 4.6.3.However, it fails. i'm following the exact steps as described on git (https://github.com/genome/breakdancer/blob/master/INSTALL.md)
git clone --recursive https://github.com/genome/breakdancer.git
cd breakdancer
mkdir build
cd build/
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/samtools/samtools/0.1.19/samtools-0.1.19.tar.bz2"
tar -jxvf samtools-0.1.19.tar.bz2
cd samtools-0.1.19
make
export SAMTOOLS_ROOT=$(pwd)
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
However it fails.

Since I do not have little to non experience with Cmake, I do not know where to start to remove this error.

Both of those errors seem to indicate that the build_common submodule did not come down when you cloned breakdancer from github. You might want to attempt to clone again, and then verify that the build-common subdirectory has files within it after you clone.
Also, you no longer need to hassle with compiling samtools by hand. The repository should come with boost and samtools included. I have updated INSTALL.md to indicate this.
It was a firewall problem: changing from git to https worked using : git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
Using git clone https://github.com/genome/breakdancer.git does not get the build-common directory contents. In order to build breakdancer 1.4.4 I had to also do git clone https://github.com/genome/build-common.git While it does compile, the make install output lists the lib directory as breakdancer-max1.4.4-unstable-1.17bbb34-dirty/ I'm not sure I trust something named "unstable...dirty" It also appears that the README file has not been updated since version 1.3.6 This doesn't inspire much confidence in the software.
