Our Bazel build complains as
ERROR: XXX/BUILD:5:1: undeclared inclusion(s) in rule 'YYY':
this rule is missing dependency declarations for the following files included by 'ZZZ.c':
'/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/include/stddef.h'
'/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/include/stdint.h'.
Why does it complain about dependencies to gcc system header files?
I'm using Ubuntu 17.04 with GCC 6.3.0.
Do you use custom crosstool? If so, can you check that those directories are covered by cxx_builtin_include_directory messages?
If you use builtin Bazel autoconfiguration, can you make sure Bazel is not using some other gcc? Bazel calls cc -E -xc++ - -v to find all the builtin directories, do you expect this to work? Also, Bazel checks whether CC environment variable is set, and if yes, it will take the compiler from there.
I solved it by cleaning up Bazels temporary files.
The reason was an upgrade of GCC during Bazel development.

On Ubuntu, when compiling Drake as an external, I get errors like the following:
$ bazel build #drake//proximity:proximity_utilities
...

^~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, I ran install_prereqs per Drake's instructions.
What is the issue?
Most likely, you have a non-system version of Eigen that was installed via something like sudo make install, and its pkg-config file (e.g. /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/eigen.pc) is shadowing the distribution's file (/usr/share/pkgconfig/eigen3.pc).
You can check this by running pkg-config --debug eigen3, and checking for a line Saying Reading 'eigen3' from file '...'.
The simplest solution is to remove the offending pkg-config file(s), clean your bazel build, and rebuild. For example:
# WARNING: This may break / confuse other projects. If you can,
# see if you can uninstall using a more specific command.
# For example, if using CMake, try to install from the
# generated `install_manifest.txt`.
sudo rm /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/eigen3.pc
# Ensure the bazel build is fully cleaned to pick up newer
# file.
$ bazel clean --expunge --async
# Then rebuild.
# One simple target to rebuild and ensure it doesn't fail:
$ bazel build #drake//common:common
While it is sometimes useful to install to /usr/local out of convenience / prototyping, it can be bad because it can shadow / confuse other tools that may look for another version of packages on your system.
I need to upgrade glib for a specific project. It currently uses glib 2.28.8. I have three problems.
I've never used meson and ninja before, so I checked glib's INSTALL.in and it just said to run meson _build followed by ninja -C _build. So I ran meson _build and got the following output:
$ meson _build
The Meson build system
Version: 0.47.2
Source dir: /srv/devel/build/glib-2.65.0
Build dir: /srv/devel/build/glib-2.65.0/_build
Build type: native build
meson.build:227: WARNING: Identifier 'in' will become a reserved keyword in a future release. Please rename it.
meson.build:227:14: ERROR: Expecting eol got id.
if vs_crt_opt in ['mdd', 'mtd']
So the basic build doesn't work. Why?
For our purposes, we use the following configure command:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(OUTPUT_DIR)/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=$(OUTPUT_DIR) --disable-dtrace --disable-selinux ac_cv_path_MSGFMT=/bin/true CPPFLAGS="-fPIC -I$(OUTPUT_DIR)/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(OUTPUT_DIR)/lib" --enable-static --disable-shared
How do I specify that in meson?
I will also need to build in Windows. Any gotchas there?
Thanks!
EDIT: I tried older versions of glib, going back to 2.62.0 and when I run meson _build I get the error meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 0.47.2 but project requires >= 0.49.2.. So that's probably a big part of the problem for question (1). This is running on CentOS 6 & 7, so I'll probably have to get and install a current meson package.
So the basic build doesn't work. Why?
You correctly figured this out in your edit: GLib 2.64 requires Meson 0.49.2, and it seems that Meson 0.47.2 is so old as to not be able to correctly parse GLib’s meson.build.
It looks from your build output that you’re trying to build GLib 2.65.0. Note that 2.65 is an unstable release series. Even minor versions of GLib (2.62.x, 2.64.x, etc.) are stable; odd ones are unstable. Using an unstable release is fine, as long as you know what you’ve signed up for: it may contain bugs, and new APIs introduced in that unstable series may change or be removed before the first stable release (in the case of 2.65.x, the corresponding first stable release will be 2.66.0).
For our purposes, we use the following configure command:
You’ll want something like:
meson --prefix "$(OUTPUT_DIR)" -Dselinux=disabled -Ddefault_library=static _build
You can see from the b_staticpic option’s default value that -fPIC is the default for static libraries, so (I believe) doesn’t need to be explicitly specified.
There should be no need to disable dtrace support since it’s disabled by default. If you did need to disable it, you’d do that with -Ddtrace=false.
The custom -L and -I arguments should be covered by use of --prefix.
Overriding the msgfmt tool to disable internationalisation is not a supported way of building GLib and you’re on your own with that one.
There is some good documentation on the built-in options in Meson here and here.
I will also need to build in Windows. Any gotchas there?
That’s too broad a question to be answered on StackOverflow.
I am trying to build and install Drake from source in order to get support for Mosek. I keep running into trouble, however. For the record, I am running macOS Catalina.
Right now my approach has been this:
Clone drake from github to a location on my computer (from https://github.com/RobotLocomotion/drake.git)
Install prereqs
with ./setup/mac/install_prereqs.sh
Run bazel build //... Make a
directory called build and cd build cmake .. and then make
and make install
And in my C++ project, which I build using cmake, I add this to CMakeLists.txt:
link_directories(drakelocation/build/install/lib)
include_directories(drakelocation/build/install/include)
However, when I try to build my project, I get an error that Drake is unable to locate Eigen: 'Eigen/Core' file not found. I was able to work around this by adding:
target_link_libraries(my_lib Eigen3::Eigen) to my CMakeLists.txt
I found this a bit strange, as I expect that Drake includes Eigen when it is built, but at least this made me able to get a bit further.
After this I get a bunch of messages of the type:
no member named 'signbit' in the global namespace
i.e. it seems like Drake suddenly is missing all the standard C++ libraries. I have not yet been able to fix this issue, so this is where I am currently stuck.
Do you have any suggestions, or have you encountered any similar problems before?
Other information:
Using find_package(drake) does not work with my current approach at all (cmake is not able to locate drake-config.cmake). Am I missing something here that is required to make this work? Where does cmake expect libraries to be installed, and how do I install them in that place?
I have also tried skipping the entire bazel build //... step, going directly to the cmake .. step, which did not seem to make any difference.
In between every different build approach I have run bazel clean --expunge to make sure that nothing sticks around from the previous run.
Thanks!
You need to tell CMake where your Drake installation is located:
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /absolute/path/to/drakelocation/build/install)
find_package(drake REQUIRED)
add_library(my_lib ...)
target_link_libraries(my_lib drake::drake)
This ensures you have all the necessary compiler and linker flags. Setting the include directory to simply /absolute/path/to/drakelocation/build/install/include is insufficient since it does not contain the include directories of the various dependencies of Drake.
Note that you do not need to call bazel yourself before calling cmake. When you run make install, it will call bazel internally.
Thanks #Jamie that solved the find_package() problem I had.
I still had some trouble with the build. Turns out that there was something wrong with my default SDK path, and that setting "CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT" according to this: Catalina C++: Using <cmath> headers yield error: no member named 'signbit' in the global namespace after an update to XCode did the trick.
After this, I got a lot of strange error messages from Eigen, complaining that i.e. MatrixXd was not defined in the namespace 'Eigen'. For some reason, uninstalling it with brew uninstall eigen and then downloading and building eigen from source solved those problems.
It now works!
I have clang-format version 3.8.0 (tags/RELEASE_380/final) in my ~/bin folder on a Fedora machine with no root privileges. It works, but it is very old and I'd like to upgrade. I just want the clang-format tool, so I would like to avoid going through the full installation process for LLVM or clang if I can avoid it. I assume I can avoid it, since my old clang-format works without either of those installed. I don't remember how clang-format got in my ~/bin directory, and I can't figure out how to update it.
The first thing I tried was following this post which said I should be able to download a prebuilt binary from this page (I tried http://releases.llvm.org/6.0.0/clang+llvm-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-Fedora27.tar.xz), then just set up a symlink to bin/clang-format. This did not work for me. When I type /path/to/bin/clang-format --help I get the error error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
The next thing I tried is downloading the clang source code and compiling that with
mkdir build && cd build && CC=$(which gcc) CXX=$(which g++) cmake ..
but when I did I got the error
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:36 (message):
llvm-config not found -- LLVM_CONFIG-NOTFOUND
Which I guess means I'd need to install the LLVM to go this route?
Any help getting an updated clang-format (vesion 5.0 at minimum) without root access would be appreciated. Bonus points for minimal installation (i.e. no clang or llvm).
=== EDIT ===
By downloading a bunch of different versions of prebuilt binaries, I've discovered that older versions (<4.0) have clang-formats that work out of the box, but at 4.0 and up give the same error about libtinfo. I guess that means I'll have to live with older versions unless I want to go through a painful installation process.
When you download llvm 6.0, make sure the directory structure is as follows:
llvm
|-->tools
|----->clang
|----> tools
|----> extra
If you just want to build clang-format, then you can cd into
llvm-build-dir/tools/clang/tools/extra/clang-format and then execute make -j8 all
later you can make a symbolic link in your /bin folder
I am trying to build Erlang on Solaris 10. The build process fails with the message that it can not find libncurses.so.5.
I have installed libncurses from sunfreeware.com, which I have build from scratch and has installed itself in /usr/local/lib/.
I have tried to set LDFLAGS with -L/usr/local/lib/ but have still had no luck.
What am I missing so that make picks up the library?
I am using GNU Make 3.81 and GCC 3.4.6.
Could you post the relevant bit from config.log?
Did you also set the include path with -I in either CPPFLAGS or CFLAGS?
Update: You could also try installing Erlang from OpenCSW instead.
