C++20 detection may be broken?
LEOcab opened this issue · comments
I'm failing to compile libbitcoin. I tried with two different versions of gcc (one for Linux and a mingw-w16 cross compiler for Windows) and they both fail with the exact same error:
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++ supports C++20 features with -std=c++20... no
checking whether /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++ supports C++20 features with +std=c++20... no
checking whether /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++ supports C++20 features with -h std=c++20... no
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++20 language features is required.
Compiling random code files with -stdc++20 works fine with both compilers. Can somebody please look into this? I've been banging my head all day trying to compile this thing for either Windows or Linux, I don't care which at this point as long as I can write code for libbitcoin in gcc
@LEOcab - the check you're referencing is performed via the standardized AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX macro for autotools and the pair of set( CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20 ) and set( CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON ) for cmake. These macro appear to work correctly on linux and macOS and have been reliable within the github actions system.
It's unclear to me which versions of compiler you're utilizing. Our CI tests are performed with clang version 14 and gcc version 11 as far as I'm aware. If you'd like further assistance, please provide additional details.
ChatGPT said if I compile something with -std=c++20 and it works then the compiler has C++20... guess she was wrong. I only have GCC 10.
What Linux distro are you running by chance? I have no clue how to rebuild gcc from scratch so I'll just have to go in a virtual machine with whatever distro you use
I found Fedora 38 has a more recent toolset so I'm using that now. I've gotten the furthest with it thus far - it gets past both the boost checks and the C++20 checks.
Now I'm stuck dealing with libsecp256k1. I managed to compile it and install it successfully but libbitcoin can't seem to find it.
Here are the commands I used to compile libsecp256k1 for Windows:
CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ ./autogen.sh
CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-linux-gnu
CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ make
CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ make install
Here's the output of the last command so you can see it worked:
[leo@localhost-live secp256k1-master]$ sudo CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ make install
[sudo] password for leo:

And now when I try to compile libbitcoin with it, even passing -I and -L cflags/cxxflags to the directory where libsecp256k1 was built in, it fails and can't seem to find it:

@LEOcab it appears you're attempting installation via manual execution of instructions. We provide installation scripts install.sh and install-cmake.sh in order to encapsulate the instructions for installation of each project as well as their dependencies.
If this problem persists while executing either of the scripts referenced above please feel free to post another issue related to that problem. If you intend on continuing a manual execution of installation, I would suggest mining the appropriate script for assistance as they tackle issues like the one you have above.
As the original point of this issue appears to have been resolved, I will be closing it at present.
