Linux install fails: Generating Runtime JSON

[kenner2]

When installing from source (and following the instructions in the build readme), the following script fails:

mkdir -p build/linux_release
cd build/linux_release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../..
make

With the following errors:

[ 94%] Built target openxr_runtime_list
[ 95%] Generating Runtime JSON [...]/OpenXR-SDK-Source/build/linux_release/src/tests/test_runtimes/openxr/1/active_runtime.json using -f [...]/OpenXR-SDK-Source/build/linux_release/src/tests/test_runtimes/openxr/1/active_runtime.json -l [...]/OpenXR-SDK-Source/build/linux_release/src/tests/test_runtimes/libtest_runtime.so -b

(I used [...] to sub out the path I cloned the project to)

I initially tried installing the arch linux AUR package openxr-loader-git and it failed with the same errors. I thought it was an issue with the arch-specific package, but I get the same issue from the cloned repo.

[...]/OpenXR-SDK-Source/build/linux_release/src/tests/test_runtimes only contains a Makefile and other cmake files. There is no openxr directory.

Also tried setting XR_RUNTIME_JSON and re-running, but the test seems to be using a hard-coded directory:
export XR_RUNTIME_JSON=/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/steamxr_linux64.json

Manual work-around: Create the directories openxr/1 and the build will pass.

Implies that whatever script is doing the setup assumed all missing directories in a path would be automatically created.
