Windows build appears broken on WSL (buntu okay)

AllanDoensen commented at 2:33 pm on April 24, 2017: contributor

Get the latest WSL on windows 10. clone a clean copy of core. This is on Windows 10. Ubuntu looks okay.

Did you install all the prerequisites? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md#cross-compilation

AllanDoensen commented at 3:14 pm on April 24, 2017: contributor

Yes. I believe this is an issue with latest WSL. It was working a week or so ago.

achow101 commented at 5:51 pm on April 24, 2017: member

I was able to replicate the issue. It seems like an issue with WSL itself and not with this project

AllanDoensen commented at 3:36 am on April 25, 2017: contributor

This is an issue with the latest version of Microsofts WSL. If I roll back the core code to a version that I have previously built in the past, then it now fails. I have also tried this on two separate windows machines. A set by step guild on how to cause the issue:

From the WSL bash shell:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 mingw-w64-x86-64-dev git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git cd bitcoin cd depends make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32

The build fails as above. So if you build on windows then do not upgrade.

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “(” unexpected make: *** [/home/allan/Bitcoin/depends/work/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/native_ccache/3.3.3-43ca3e6a03b/./.stamp_configured] Error 2

Maybe they changed the default shell? Just a wild guess due to the error on a .sh file.

To diagnose better we need to know what it is trying to run, and where at the time of the error.

AllanDoensen commented at 10:15 am on April 25, 2017: contributor

@laanwj I checked the default shell and it is still bash. The error really does not give me much & I am not really a makefile/script person. I had a look around but I am unable to determine what script is actually causing the error.

laanwj commented at 11:00 am on April 25, 2017: member

@AllanDoensen Debugging makefiles isn’t really my specialty either. Maybe @theuni has an idea.

theuni commented at 4:15 pm on April 26, 2017: member

@AllanDoensen or @achow101 Could you please retry with make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 V=1 and post the output?

Looks like a lack of "" in some of the depends/ scripts?

@sipa Yep. @achow101 Could you please try this?

I bet the latest WSL added those system paths.

It’s complaining about not having automake-1.14. I have automake-1.15 installed here. On my ubuntu machine I also have automake-1.15 but it does not have this error.

theuni commented at 8:36 pm on April 26, 2017: member

Automake should not be needed/invoked there. Could you rm -rf /mnt/e/bitcoin/depends/work/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/native_protobuf and make with V=1 again?

Thank goodness, I just had the same problem with you! However, when I log in to a non root user, everything is working properly. Maybe it suits you.

ghost commented at 4:35 am on June 9, 2017: none

This error is caused by WSL now including Windows PATH. In bash, if you echo ${PATH}, you’ll see it’s merged. Here’s mine, for example: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/mnt/c/Windows/System32:/mnt/c/Windows:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/wbem:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/mnt/c/Program Files/Crucial/Crucial Storage Executive:/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX/Common:/mnt/c/Windows/System32:/mnt/c/Windows:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/wbem:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU/GnuPG/pub:/mnt/c/Users/sagac/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft VS Code/bin

When I deleted everything but the Linux bits by setting PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games, I was able to successfully get past the “Syntax error: “(” unexpected” error. (Windows executables are being included WSL, which can’t handle unescaped “(” characters in the make script.)

laanwj commented at 8:23 am on June 9, 2017: member

That’s interesting, thanks for the information. Apparently MSVC’s make.exe ends up being used before GNU’s. MSVC’s is pretty much entirely incompatible with the build system output, so then this result is expected. Adding the instruction to override the PATH to the build doc would make sense. On BSDs a similar problem exists and it’s fixed by using gmake instead of make, but I don’t think that alias exists on Ubuntu.

NicolasDorier commented at 3:35 am on June 29, 2017: contributor

I bumped into this issue as well, it was indeed WSL taking the wrong make executable.

laanwj commented at 7:58 am on June 29, 2017: member

May want to mention this gotcha in the windows build notes.

benhillis commented at 3:23 pm on July 24, 2017: none

Windows Subsystem for Linux dev here. Reading through the above it looks like there is a script somewhere in the make process that is running into trouble with the spaces in the Windows paths that have been added to the Linux $PATH variable.

I’m not familiar with this project but I’m guessing there’s a script somewhere that not wrapping $PATH or a sub-element in quotes. Spaces are uncommon in Linux paths but they are not illegal. I’ll try to figure out which script is at fault.

@theuni - Your patch resolves this issue. Would it be possible to add that fix to funcs.mk?

Hi, I might have a similar issue but I got somewhat different error message than you.

cd depends make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32

The error message is:: not foundess: 4: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 6: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 33: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 34: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 36: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 48: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 57: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 60: ./config.guess: ./config.guess: 63: ./config.guess: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “in”); not foundb: 4: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 6: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 26: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 27: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 34: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 37: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 45: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 52: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 54: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 66: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 74: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 77: ./config.sub: ./config.sub: 80: ./config.sub: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “in”); not foundess: 4: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 6: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 33: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 34: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 36: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 48: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 57: ./config.guess:; not foundess: 60: ./config.guess: ./config.guess: 63: ./config.guess: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “in”); not foundb: 4: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 6: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 26: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 27: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 34: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 37: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 45: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 52: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 54: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 66: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 74: ./config.sub:; not foundb: 77: ./config.sub: ./config.sub: 80: ./config.sub: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “in”) Makefile:72: hosts/.mk: No such file or directory Makefile:74: builders/.mk: No such file or directory /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Makefile: not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected make: config.site.in: Command not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected make: config.site.in: Command not found /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “|” unexpected make: *** No rule to make target ‘builders/.mk’. Stop.

I am not a Linux user nor a developer so can you please explain how to address it in as simple language as possible. I just want to run Bitcoin Core to learn raw Bitcoin protocol.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I was following the instructions as below until I end up with an error from the last make command. Any suggestions on how this can be fixed?

0cd depends
1make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 V=1 AUTOCONF=: AUTOHEADER=: AUTOMAKE=: ACLOCAL=:
2cd ..
3./autogen.sh
4CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
5make

After I execute ‘make’ I got this result:

By removing “Program Files (x86)” folders and others containing spaces from PATH (in fact clearing all PATH both from CMD and Environment variables, both for user and system), it didn’t show the /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected error anymore.

By running the process as root (wasn’t working as normal user) and make as suggested by @fanquake (i.e. make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 V=1 AUTOCONF=: AUTOHEADER=: AUTOMAKE=: ACLOCAL=:), it didn’t show WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system. anymore.

Build was successful.

I see the “undefined symbols not allowed” issue when I tried to compile v0.15.0.1 just now, and I also see this raised on StackExchange 6 months ago.

@neobitz

I got the same errors when preforming make in cd/depends and heres how I fixed it; sudo chmod +x config.guess sudo chmod +x config.site.in sudo chmod +x config.sub sudo make -j4 HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
