    Got this error from configure when trying to build from tag v24.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.

    At first my gcc was version gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) so I tried installing clang 10: clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1~18.04.2 and linked to CXX, etc… still got the same error.

    ./configure –without-gui –with-incompatible-bdb

    I see clang is being used in the output, but how are you passing clang through? CC=clang=10 CXX=clang++? What is the actual output in config.log?

  4. pinheadmz commented at 4:12 pm on February 23, 2023: member

    Errors in config.log look the same with gcc 7 too:

    0checking whether g++ supports C++17 features with -std=c++17... yes
1checking whether std::filesystem can be used without link library... no
2checking whether std::filesystem needs -lstdc++fs... no
3checking whether std::filesystem needs -lc++fs... configure: error: in `/root/bitcoin':

    yeah:

    0$ env | grep clang
1CC=/usr/bin/clang-10
2CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-10

    You’re still using an old libstdc++.

  7. maflcko commented at 4:19 pm on February 23, 2023: member
    gcc 7 doesn’t have filesystem. You can try CC=clang-10 CXX="clang++-10 -stdlib=libc++"

    This is the relevant chunk from config.log:

    Installing libstdc++-8-dev will solve the problem.

  9. pinheadmz commented at 4:23 pm on February 23, 2023: member

    YES! Thanks. Add to docs ?

  10. hebasto commented at 4:28 pm on February 23, 2023: member

    Add to docs ?

    Probably, it does not worth, considering that Ubuntu 18 is about to reach “End of Standard Support” soon.

    how to install this lib？

  18. maflcko commented at 10:55 am on May 31, 2023: member
    @wangtao19911111 The minimum required version is installed by default with g++, if you use the latest LTS release of your operating system.
