Failing to build, qt/bitcoin.cpp #13225

angelagilhotra commented at 7:51 AM on May 13, 2018: none

I'm building from source v0.16.0 on Ubuntu 17.10 I cloned the repo, checked out on v0.16.0, ran ./autogen.sh followed by ./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"

the make command however produces the following error:

Makefile:8224: recipe for target 'qt/qt_bitcoin_qt-bitcoin.o' failed
make[2]: *** [qt/qt_bitcoin_qt-bitcoin.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/angelag/src/bitcoin/src'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/angelag/src/bitcoin/src'
Makefile:747: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

from the output of make command the errors started here:

Did you try make clean and compile it again?

@ken2812221 yeah I did The error persists

ken2812221 commented at 8:14 AM on May 13, 2018: contributor

Can you show your config.log?

angelagilhotra commented at 8:18 AM on May 13, 2018: none

config.log

Can you try run PATH=$(echo $PATH|sed 's/\/usr\/local\/bin://') ./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768". I think you have two version of protobuf

@ken2812221 nope, didn't work, same error Should I be removing one version to remove ambiguity?

oops, sorry closed by mistake :sweat_smile:

I did protoc --version and got

libprotoc 3.2.0

ken2812221 commented at 10:02 AM on May 13, 2018: contributor

The newest official version for 17.10 is 3.0.0, so I think you should get rid of version 3.2.0 and install official pack

@ken2812221 It worked! I had to perform make clean before building. I used the configure command you suggested: PATH=$(echo $PATH|sed 's/\/usr\/local\/bin://') ./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768" Thanks!

What does PATH=$(echo $PATH|sed 's/\/usr\/local\/bin://') before ./configure do ? Should I still be replacing protoc 3.2.0 with 3.0.0 ?

had the same problem.

Running PATH=$(echo $PATH|sed 's/\/usr\/local\/bin://') ./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768" Also fixed it.
