I was trying to build Boost library from source for MinGW. The Boost website says no guarantee but there seem to be people done it successfully. However I couldn't find much instructions on the web.
I updated the title to better reflect my problem right now.
======================== Original post ==============================
I downloaded Boost 1.53.0, unzipped it and cd to the folder in MinGW shell. It failed at the very first step I tried:
$ ./bootstrap.sh mingw
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc...
Failed to build Boost.Build build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details
Inside the bootstrap.log the errors are:
builtins.c:33:23: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
execunix.c:17:26: fatal error: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
fileunix.c:98:17: fatal error: ar.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Please help! Thanks!
================== End of original and beginning of update =====================
Update: I found this detailed instruction on line:
http://vijay.axham.com/blog/478/building-boost-binaries-on-mingw
I followed it along and now got stuck in the final build step that is supposed to take a long time but I got an error instead:
$ b2 --build-dir=$BOOST_BUILD_DIR --prefix=$BOOST_INSTALL_DIR toolset=gcc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static install 2>&1 | tee $BOOST_BUILD_DIR/build.log
error: Unable to find file or target named
error: 'boost/tr1/tr1/bcc32'
error: referred from project at
error: '.'
but the directory is there (it should be since it's just extracted from the zip file)
$ ls boost/tr1/tr1/bcc32/
array.h random.h regex.h tuple.h type_tra.h unordere.h
Getting closer but still need help! Thanks!
OK I got it working. The trick was to download the tar.bz2 file, not the zip file from sourceforge (specifically http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.53.0/). Even though both the zip and the tar.bz2 files are listed under the same file folder for the same version of Boost, the contents are different. There are some missing folders in the zip file, and the line ending conventions of the compressed files are different. At any rate after I downloaded and extracted the tar.bz2 file. I followed the instructions given here:
http://vijay.tech/articles/wiki/Programming/Cpp/Boost/BuildingBoostOnMinGw
and successfully built the Boost library from source using MinGW shell (mintty to be exact). There were some failures but probably not important: has_icu_test, has_iconv, has_icu_obj, has_icu64_obj, .masm. At the end it says
...failed updating 2 targets...
...skipped 3 targets...
...updated 10623 targets...
Hope this will help others in the future.
Do not use bash. Build it using cmd.exe.
bootstrap.bat gcc
Compiler executable should be on PATH.
Do not use bash. Build it using cmd.exe as described below:
Install MinGw on your system. I recommend using the same bit system as your processor is. Then set the path in System Environment to the bin folder which contains g++, ... (Compiler executable should be on PATH.) files. Now you are ready to go.
For obvious reasons, start a fresh terminal (cmd.exe), don't use the already open terminals that doesn't know your new setting.
Download boost, the latest stable release, unzip it and in the command window follow the path too the main directory of the extracted boost.
Run this command: bootstrap mingw
Run this command afterwards, which will install in the folder you select as your destination.
b2 install --prefix=c:\boost\custominstallationfolder\gcc toolset=gcc
Like said above, but more specifically for me compiling boost-1.54 with gcc-mingw-4.8.1
Using a Windows shell (cmd.exe) navigate to root of boost directory directory then
bootstrap.bat gcc
b2.exe toolset=gcc

I installed the latest Cygwin on my Windows 7 machine: version 2.893 (64-bits). I made sure I included cmake, i.e. I was able to add several packages by running the Cygwin net release setup program again, after doing the first installation. I then tried to use cmake and made sure I invoked it from the bin directory:
user008#L0147816 /bin
$ ./cmake
CMake Error: Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!
CMake has most likely not been installed correctly.
Modules directory not found in
//share/cmake-3.6.2
Usage
cmake [options] <path-to-source>
cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>
Specify a source directory to (re-)generate a build system for it in the
current working directory. Specify an existing build directory to
re-generate its build system.
Run 'cmake --help' for more information.
I don't know where the build directory could be. I'm relatively new to Cygwin. I hope somebody has found a solution for getting cmake installed and working properly under Cygwin.
This looks cmake 101.
Assuming you want to just build a software download from somewhere
eg gl2ps:
# choosing a test area
$ cd /tmp
# downloading source
$ wget http://geuz.org/gl2ps/src/gl2ps-1.4.0.tgz
# expanding source code
$ tar -xf gl2ps-1.4.0.tgz
$ ls gl2ps-1.4.0-source/
CMakeLists.txt COPYING.LGPL gl2ps.h gl2ps.tex gl2psTestSimple.c
COPYING.GL2PS gl2ps.c gl2ps.pdf gl2psTest.c README.txt
# preparing a build area
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
# invoking cmake and pointing to the source directory
$ cmake ../gl2ps-1.4.0-source/
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 7.3.0
[cut ...]
-- Configuring done

# running the build

Instead for learning how to build with cmake, go to
https://cmake.org/cmake-tutorial/
Here a solution I just found.
Let's name 3 directories:
{cygwin64-path}/bin/: cmake.exe is here.
{cygwin64-path}/usr/share/: cmake module directory (such as cmake-3.20.0) is here.
{cygwin64-path}/share/: cmake.exe trying to find cmake-module-directory here, but it doesn't exist.
It's wired because cygwin install cmake-module-directory in {cygwin64-path}/usr/share/, but cmake.exe looks for the directory in {cygwin64-path}/share/.
So solution is simple. Each one below works.
METHOD 1: Create the directory {cygwin64-path}/share/ and copy all relevant directories and files from {cygwin64-path}/usr/share/ to the new directory.
METHOD 2: Create a Symbolic links {cygwin64-path}/share/ to {cygwin64-path}/usr/share/.
In windows 10 Administrator cmd.exe: mklink /J share usr\share and all works.
Or use WSL or Cygwin64 Terminal: ln -s usr/share share
I am trying to install the openCV library for Python however I am new to CMake and have run into some trouble after having cloned the repository in ~/opencv.
I've made a build directory in it with the mkdir command however once inside it when trying to set CMake options in it.
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
I get prompted with the following error:
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/eDen/opencv/build/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local" does not exist.
It seems you aren't making the right directory, some Mac OS X installations doesn't include /usr/local/. You can make the directory using, if it's not already created, with:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/
But you say you want to use OpenCV with Python. I recommend you to obtain an already compiled copy unless you need some advanced features not available in the compiled version, like Qt integration or CUDA programming. But these features are included in the arguments of the cmake command.
Instructions on how to obtain OpenCV from Homebrew repository, this page explains the process. Basically, you install Homebrew, then Python, configure it and install some dependencies.
As Tsyvarev mentioned in the comments, you need to specify the path to source directory (i.e. where the main CMakeLists.txt file exists) at the end of your command. So, supposing you are now in the build directory, the final cmake command would be as follows:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
I have the last argument as .. but still get the error.
In my case, there is a bad whitespace in the above arguments. So the last .. is ignored.
In my code I'm getting a fatal error of :
fatal error: gmpxx.h: No such file or directory|
I'm trying to use the The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library, but I'm having trouble trying to get the library downloaded an working in the right place.
I download the file gmp=6.1.0.tar.lz but I have no idea how to open it, use it, or even where it needs to be placed.
I'm using Codeblocks, and a Windows 10 computer.
First, install some basic GNU utilities via MinGW. We need tar. Then, download a stable lzip release. Choose tarball not lzip archive, because we want to build lzip. Now, open your MSYS shell, go to directory made after extracting lzip tarball (this directory should be available as /c/<PATH ON C DRIVE WITH BACKSLASHES REPLACED WITH SLASHES>) and run:
./configure --prefix=/
make
make install
Then go up (cd ..) and run:
tar xvf gmp-6.1.0.tar.lz
It should extract this file. Now, build GMP by going to directory gmp-6.1.0 and running:
PATH="/c/Program Files/CodeBlocks/MinGW:$PATH" ./configure --prefix='/c/Program Files/CodeBlocks/MinGW'
on 32-bit system, or:
PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW:$PATH" ./configure --prefix='/c/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW' --enable-cxx
on 64-bit. Run these commands:
make
make install
You should have GMP installed.
I'm building the latest github version of rstudio-server to run on OSX Yosemite, but can't get it to find the macports R libraries when installing.
I run into a "Minimum R version (2.11.1) not found." error when I run
cmake -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Server -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
but when I pass -DRSTUDIOVERIFYR_VERSION=0 as well, I configure successfully and make it to about 44% before the build fails:

I was able to find Rinternals.h in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/PrivateHeaders/Rinternals.h (EDIT: also in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/include/Rinternals.h), but how do I point the build configuration to this location?
EDIT: Additionally, I experienced another problem where the build failed at about 70% with the error
/opt/local/lib/libR.dylib/Resources/R: not a directory
make[2]: *** [src/cpp/r/R/packages/library/manipulate/DESCRIPTION] Error 126
Upon further investigation, /opt/local/lib/libR.dylib/Resources/R does not exist, because /opt/local/lib/libR.dylib is actually a file.
Not sure about the specifics of cmake but you can try
$ export CPATH=$CPATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/PrivateHeaders/
$ sudo make install
to tell the compiler to look for header files in the location where you found them.
This appears to be a problem with the RStudio cmake script not properly detecting a MacPorts R installation. To fix these problems:
Point cmake to the correct location of your R executable using export RSTUDIO_WHICH_R=/opt/local/bin/R (or whatever the location is for you), as described in this RStudio Knowledge Base Article. This solves the problem with cmake failing to generate a configuration.
To solve the problems with Rinternals.h not being found, go into build/CMakeCache.txt and change the path of LIBR_INCLUDE_DIRS to reflect Rinternals.h's actual location, as described in this RStudio Support Forum Question.
Ensure that LIBR_EXECUTABLE, LIBR_HOME, and LIBR_DOC_DIR all point to the correct location. You can get the correct locations by doing R.home(component="home") (or component="doc") in an R interactive prompt, as described on this webpage. This will solve the build error at 44%, and the additional error I had at 70-ish%.
Add -I /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/PrivateHeaders/ to the compiler's command line.
Alternatively, you can set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH in the environment to tell the compiler where to search for additional headers when compiling C++ code. You may also want to set C_INCLUDE_PATH for C if needed.
$ export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/PrivateHeaders
$ make
I am trying to include ZMQ sockets in a Go app but both zmq4 and gozmq (the referred ZMQ binding libraries for Go) are giving me problems. I would like to understand why zmq4 specifically isn't importable on my system.
I am running a Windows 8 system and I used the windows installer from the ZMQ website for version 4.0.3. I am primarily concerned about getting zmq4 set up and here is the result of my "go get" query on the github library's location:
> go get github.com/pebbe/zmq4
# github.com/pebbe/zmq4
polling.go:4:17: fatal error: zmq.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
This issue is not alleviated by cloning the Github repository - the error remains the same.
I know the issue has to do with the C library zmq.h that is located in the "include" folder of my ZMQ installation, but whether the dependency is held up by a pathing issue or an external tool issue is a mystery to me.
A similar error has come up in regards to node.js and is the solution I see others referred to, outside of node scripting, but it was unsuccessful in my case.
I've so far included the path to the "include" folder in my PATH environment variable and previously placed zmq.h inside of the zmq4 top-level folder. I don't have much of an arsenal otherwise to understand this problem because I am new to C and C-importing packages in Go
I wanted to do the same thing, but on Windows 7, and here is what I had to do.
Since the Go bindings are using cgo to integrate with zeromq, you need zeromq built with gcc. There are no pre-built binaries, so you'll have to build them yourself, with mingw or similar, but this process is easier than it may sound, and nicely described on the zeromq site.
As #photoionized pointed out, C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH need to be set when building the Go bindings.
(In my case, I ran into a problem when compiling libzmq with IN6_ADDR not being defined. The only solution I found was, inspired by this issue, to manually add the line #include <in6addr.h> to the windows.hpp file.)
The Windows installer version of ZeroMQ won't work with zmq4, you need to compile from source with gcc, I recommend using MSYS2.
Install and update MSYS2 following the instructions from
http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/
Start the mingw32_shell.bat or mingw64_shell.bat based on Go arch (32bit or 64bit)
pacman -S mingw-w64-(x86_64|i686)-toolchain make (x86_64 for 64bit, i686 for 32bit)
cd into zeromq src folder (C:\ path starts with /c/ inside the shell)
./configure
make
make install
CGO_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib go get github.com/pebbe/zmq4
Copy the following dlls and put them next to your go program (.exe):
/usr/local/bin/libzmq.dll
/mingw(32|64)/bin/libgcc*.dll
/mingw(32|64)/bin/libwinpthread*.dll
/mingw(32|64)/bin/libstdc++*.dll
Here's updated steps for #user2172816's MSYS2 solution:
Install and update MSYS2 following the instructions from http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/

pacman -S mingw-w64-(x86_64|i686)-toolchain make (x86_64 for 64bit, i686 for 32bit)
Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to your Path (pkg-config is there)
Restart the msys2 shell to get the new Path
Download and unzip libsodium source: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases
cd into libsodium folder (C:\ path starts with /c/ inside the shell)

An updated answer using MSYS2.
Install MSYS2 MSYS2 installation guide.
Make sure to choose the correct installation 32bit or 64bit.
Open the appropriate shell MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit or MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit. All further steps assume you are using this shell.
Update packages following instructions at the installation guide.
Install libtool pacman -Sy libtool.
Download zmq source code to a location of your choice.
Navigate to the zmq source folder.
To generate the configure file, run the autogen tool by running ./autogen.sh.
In the probable case that step 8 fails:
Find the file at fault (probably version.sh).
Replace line endings by (replace file by the actual filename).
cp file file.bak
tr -d '\r' <file.bak> file
If this fails you'll have to dive in the code and find the problem.
Run the configure tool ./configure.
In the probable case of failure. Comment out empty else clauses in the configure file.
Add Go to Path: PATH=${PATH}:<go bin directory>.
Install Go Package: CGO_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib go get github.com/pebbe/zmq4
To install ZMQ in windows: Problem in Installing Golang ZMQ for windows - fatal error: czmq.h: No such file or directory
