Errors when Compiling #20208

I am on Qubes OS (using a standalone Debian 10 qube with standard networking - this should mimic a standard system well). I have attempted to use both GCC and Clang. I will start with GCC:

I install all dependencies without error. I clone the repo without error. I change directories into my local copy, install Berkeley DB using the installation script included in the contrib directory, and take note of the export and configure paths (copy them, so I can't make mistakes). I export BDB_PREFIX='<PATH-TO>/db4' from the BDB build previously. ./autogen.sh Then, copy the ./configure command from the BDB build. I get a configure error (sqlite3 not found) even though it is installed, which is weird.

Finally, make. However, I keep getting the same error:

make: ***No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Restart machine, re-clone repo, doesn't matter. Same outcome.

I talked with Jonatack , he suggested it might be a compiler issue. Also talked with Bosch and JWweatherman, they suggested it might be a permissions issue, so:

GCC again, as root, and then I'll try with Clang as root:

GCC:

still have the configure error "sqlite3 not found"

still have the make error "No targets specified and no makefile found."

Clang:

after sudo ./configure CC=clang CXX=clang++ BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include":

Hmm, that is very weird.

I have a config.log in the following two places:

/home/user/bitcoin/db4/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/config.log /home/user/bitcoin/config.log

The config files are about 5,000 lines and too much to paste here.

So, it seems this could be an issue with sqlite3 and/or Berkeley DB - perhaps something with the new wallet database?

If configure fails, then no Makefile is produced and make will fail. configure is failing with "sqlite3 not found" because you are missing the libsqlite3-dev package.

Ah, I just had sqlite3 installed, not libsqlite3-dev, thank you! Thought it was much more complicated than that...
