error when running configure

error when running configure

[chfakht]

i have solved it a little by giving the right permission to configure and running it under root but get same errors , just the Warning disapered

  Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.252.128' to the list of known hosts.

This is just warning you that it is adding the machine to your know hosts file. It only does this the first time. After that it should not be a problem.

It seems to be failing when pulling the build tools from github:

  Permission denied (publickey).

Because I use ssh for all my github communications it is expecting you to have registered your ssh public key with github. You can fix this by adding your public key to git hub as per this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25828483/github-permission-denied-publickey

  ## Note the use of git@ here. This makes sure you pull it using ssh.
  ## If this works then the rest of the processes should also work.
  git clone [email protected]:Loki-Astari/ThorsSerializer.git
  cd ThorsSerializer
  ./configure --disable-binary

  # But you can add an IdentityFile

Part 2: Add public key to github

Now you need to add the public part of the key to github.

1. Got to the page "https://github.com/settings/ssh"
2. Click the button "Add SSH Key" in the top right.
3. Add a title the paste the content of the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Now it should all work.

[Loki-Astari]

Those errors are caused because you did not solve it.
Your git submodule update failed because you don't have any keys installed on github.com

Once you have added your ssh keys correctly (see above). You can fix by:

 git submodule update
 ./configure --disable-binary

[Loki-Astari]

@chfakht I see you have now installed a public key on github. Are you problems solved?

[chfakht]

yes it's working now but after that when i run make i get those errors

@chfakht

The error:

 ../BinaryFormat.h:5:29: fatal error: BinaryRepConfig.h: No such file or directory

The file BinaryFormat.h should be in the directory src/BinaryRep/BinaryRepConfig.h and is generated from the file src/BinaryRep/BinaryRepConfig.h.in by the configuration scripts. If this file does not exist then it suggests that ./configuration has not run correctly.

Please re-run the configuration script. It does a lot more than download the build tools. It also sets up the tests tools and checks the configuration.

[Loki-Astari]

@chfakht I am sorry for all the problems.

From this experience I have updated my build tools to provide more detailed instructions when this happens to the next person. I hope we can solve your next issue as well.

[chfakht]

you have done a great job 💯 hope that the issue will be solved in the next release ....
oh i forget to tell you that i'm using GCC 4.6 that came by default in raspbian installed on my pi ... however in your requirement you said that i must have a compiler compatible with c++14 version !!! => it could be this the problem

[Loki-Astari]

Yep that is definitely a problem:
The configuration scripts will fail (and refuse to complete) unless your compiler can support C++14 (so that sounds like the problem).

According to this page:
https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html

gcc 4.6 only supports the C++ 11 as a pre-release

According to this page:
https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx1y.html

gcc 4.8 supports the C++ 14 (but best to upgrade to gcc 4.9 as a minimum).

[chfakht]

now that i have installed g++4.9 like an option in raspberry from this link :https://solarianprogrammer.com/2015/01/13/raspberry-pi-raspbian-install-gcc-compile-cpp-14-programs/ , now i can compile an example by g++-4.9 -std=c++14 -Wall -pedantic test.cpp -o lambda_test
so how can add the flag g++-4.9 to use it with configure for example

[Loki-Astari]

On Ubuntu you can specify which version is the default compiler with update-alternatives.

see: how-to-change-the-default-gcc-compiler-in-ubuntu for details.

Note: The makefile will also want to run code coverage tests on the code you will probably need to install the gcov-4.9 tool as well.

If you are using a system where it is hard to change the default you can tell configure to use an alternative.

CXX=g++-4.9 COV=gcov-4.9 ./configure --disable-binary

[chfakht]

No when running CXX=g++-4.9 COV=gcov-4.9 ./configure --disable-binary

what's next :package:␣

[Loki-Astari]

I have updated the build tools to handle this correctly now.
If you pass the --disable-binary flag to configure it will not build the BinaryRep directory. Which is probably a good move as it is probably not trivialy portable to other hardware.

git pull
./configure --disable-binary
make

[chfakht]

Now finally i was able to run ./configure make and sudo make install successfully 👍
but when trying the simple example in doc folder

g++-4.9 -std=c++14 example1.cpp -lThorSerialize14

(it's compiled successfully) but when running the executable i get

./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libThorSerialize14.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

some final help plzz

[Loki-Astari]

When the system tries to load shared libraries at runtime it has to know where to look. By default this is just in /usr/lib but the system allows you to extend the default by having the file /etc/ld.so.conf. On most version of Linux this will add the directory /usr/local/lib (which is where user defined software is installed).

I suspect the raspberry-pi is not a standard desktop configuration where user code is normally installed.

For full details:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html

So you have two options if you want all user built libs to work.

1. Modify /etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/local/lib
2. Build so that the shared lib is installed in /usr/lib

./configure --disable-binary prefix=/usr
sudo make instal

Optionally you can use the environment variables to modify the search path temporarily.

# Notice there is just a space between the two commands.
# This works in bash and only modifies the environment for this one command.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./a.out


# if you want to extend it permanently (for the current shell)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
./a.out

[chfakht]

thanks a lot , i have modify /etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/local/lib and runned ldconfig after that , now i am able to run the example successfullty
thanks for putting in your time and effort to solve this issue 💯 , i have also learn a lot of things from this 👍 after that i want to use JSON format to save some data into database .... i've choosen mongoDB database , have you any idea on how to use it in C++ , or maybe suggest me another database 🔢
thanks

[Loki-Astari]

Sorry. I have not used Mongo. Good luck.

I have used MySQL and there are C++ libraries available for that.

[chfakht]

yes i have found "jsoncpp" in github that support MySQL , but however i
don't know if MySQL is suitable in my case since i just want to stock some
data on it without need the to update it ...
