CMake doesn’t seem to find some Boost libraries

#1 Post by Tualha »

Before trying to build FreeOrion from the repository, I built gcc 5.4; seemed to work correctly. Then I built Boost 1.64; that seemed to work correctly too. (I built it with gcc 4.9.2, not 5.4, if that matters.)

So then I tried building FreeOrion, and got weird errors. It seems like it’s not finding certain Boost libraries. Not sure which ones, though; the error messages are rather cryptic and lacking in details.

First, I tell it where to find my custom builds:
$ export BOOST_ROOT=/misc/boost_1_64_0
$ export CC=/misc/gcc54/usr/local/bin/gcc
$ export CXX=/misc/gcc54/usr/local/bin/g++

Create a separate build directory:
$ pwd
/misc/fo/repo/freeorion
$ cd ..
$ mkdir fo-build
$ cd fo-build

Record the output:
$ script -f ../cmake-run

Run cmake:
$ cmake ../freeorion

Full output is below. Summarizing:

It sees the correct compiler. Omitting some lines:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /misc/gcc54/usr/local/bin/gcc -- works
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /misc/gcc54/usr/local/bin/g++ -- works

It had some trouble with pthread but seemed to find it eventually:
-- Looking for pthread_create - not found
-- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found
-- Looking for pthread_create in pthread - found

Then I get this, repeated 12 times:
CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.6/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:743 (message):

Followed by other messages about Boost, but this seems to be where it went off the rails.

Anyone know what’s going on here? I looked at various files and was not enlightened.

Here are some suggestions, and questions for next time.
Suggestions
  1. 1. Recompile the boost libraries with gcc 5.4. One of the changes in gcc 5.0 was a major ABI change to support C++11. FreeOrion compiled with gcc 5.4 may link with boost libraries compiled with 4.9.2, but it will crash.

    2. Find, install, and compile if necessary boost python

Questions for next time
What distro are you using?
Next time could you post "/misc/fo/repo/fo-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log" as well?

Aha! Not sure if that’s behind this problem, but it sounds necessary, anyway.
2. Find, install, and compile if necessary boost python
Isn’t that part of Boost? It seems to be there. Perhaps CMake can’t see it because of issue #1.
3. Install cppcheck and pycodestyle
Will do.
What distro are you using?
Debian 8, “jessie”. Debian is rather notorious for outdated versions. The next release just hit stable and I plan to install it eventually, but that can be disruptive, so I was hoping I could get this working by building things myself.
Next time could you post "/misc/fo/repo/fo-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log" as well?
Will do. Thanks for all the input. :)

Imported targets not available for Boost version 106400
Sounds like FindBoost.cmake is not updated for 1.64
You might try also setting Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSION to 1.64.0, personally I just update the script (source), but might not be suitable resolution for everyone.

(Some previous related discussion on PR #1385)

Hmm, good thoughts. I have to rebuild Boost anyway, so maybe I’ll just use the version that CMake knows about. Thanks :)

Also, I seem to recall that last time I built boost for FO, which was a fair while back, that I had to go out of my way to get it to build the particular types of libraries that FO needed (I think I needed to specify -mt for multi threaded libraries). That's not seeming like a super likely candidate here, but perhaps just enough of a possibility to be worth mentioning.
If I provided any code, scripts or other content here, it's released under GPL 2.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0

Yes, worth mentioning. It could be a factor. Thank you.
