   I’m trying to compile bitcoin v23.0 tag (commit id: fcf6c8f). During the compilation I received this error:

   0make[2]: *** No rule to make target '%reldir%/lib/univalue.cpp', needed by '%reldir%/lib/libunivalue_la-univalue.lo'.  Stop.
   

   OS: CentOS 7 Compiler GCC 11.2.0

   Did you run make distclean before ./configure?

   What are the exact steps to reproduce from a fresh install of CentOS 7?

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Install gcc 11.2.0 (I followed this gist: https://gist.github.com/nchaigne/ad06bc867f911a3c0d32939f1e930a11)
   2. Clone bitcoin and checkout v23.0- git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
   3. Change directory and checkout- cd bitcoin && git checkout v23.0
   4. Compile bitcoin dependencies- make -C ./depends NO_QT=1
   5. Run ./autogen.sh
   6. Run CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --with-gui=no --disable-tests --disable-bench
   7. Run make

   I meant exact steps to reproduce that can be copy-pasted 1:1, otherwise it seems unlikely that someone will give this a try, given that CentOS7 isn’t officially supported anymore by Bitcoin Core

   I updated my original response.

   It does not look correct:

   4. Compile bitcoin dependencies- make -C ./deploy NO_QT=1

   Should be: make -C ./depends NO_QT=1

   Also building with depends requires the CONFIG_SITE variable set when running ./configure script.

    @hebasto I updated again the original response. Thank you for your comments.

    Assuming a clean repository, you also need to run the ./autogen.sh script before configuring.

    Can you upgrade your operating system? This might be the easiest solution, given that you’ll have to do it anyway before CentOS 7 is EOL.

    For reference, I can reproduce on a fresh install of CentOS 7 with your steps. Though, I can’t help further with debugging this, as I am not familiar with autotools build systems.

    Even if you managed to compile this, it wouldn’t run:

    0./bitcoin-23.0/bin/bitcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by ./bitcoin-23.0/bin/bitcoind)
