ccls cannot be built on suse linux

hi I tried to install ccls for c-c++ layer. I am not sure if the version did not support c++17?

Cmake (version 3.9.0) 
GCC (7.5.0)
clang+llvm_9

But when I run command

cmake -H. -BRelease -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/xxx/clang+llvm_9

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. – Configuring done CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt: Target “ccls” requires the language dialect “CXX17” , but CMake does not know the compile flags to use to enable it.

– Generating done CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

需要加个参数才行，cmake_cxx_compile_flags＝-std＝c++17

3

CMakeLIsts.txt 里面有 setProperty (… CXX_STANDARD 17)

4

ccmake看下是不是缺了啥

Make sure your cmake supports CXX17 c++ - Target requires the language dialect "CXX17" (with compiler extensions), but CMake does not know the compile flags to use to enable it - Stack Overflow

You can probably work around this by deleting ... CXX_STANDARD 17 and adding -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-std=c++17

openSuse provides openSUSE Software

Hi

After I followed your hint like

cmake -H. -BRelease -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/ezhonke/software/clang+llvm_9 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-std=c++17

But it seems that cmake don’t know the flag either.

The compiler does not support -std=c++17. See the first paragraph on Build · MaskRay/ccls Wiki · GitHub . clang>=5 or gcc>=7.2

Install a newer compiler and use CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER. There should be plenty of examples.

hi, I tried the compilation again on SUSE linux. Because I used ccls in my own ubuntu very smoothly and like it very much. with command like below:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/xxx/git/clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-sles11.3/lib:/home/ezhonke/software/GCC_75/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export PATH=/home/xxx/git/clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-sles11.3/bin:/home/ezhonke/software/GCC_75/bin:$PATH

cmake --build Release

Now it can compile, but link failure:

Do I need to set some env_variables? It seems that lots of clang source missing.

有一种编译过链接不过的可能，就是（编译所用的编译器版本）和（链接使用的库编译时所用的编译器版本）不兼容。这一般会发生在g++版本和C++每代标准发布的时间接近的情况下。

可以先验证一下是不是这个问题。

Edit：

nm /path/to/wherever/is/index.cc.o | grep getAsString

vs.

nm /path/to/clang/lib/some/possible/libsth.a | grep getAsString

看看结果中对应的一长串可能叫 ZNxxxxclangxxxxxDeclarationNamexxxxgetAsStringxxxxxxx 这种怪名字是否完全一致。如果不一致，那很可能是我说的原因

10

Thaks for your help. But I cannot find the file you mentioned “libsth.a” I followed the guide adn downloaded prebuild clan-llvm 9.0

clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-sles11.3 That I cannot find the lib.

Where it should be? I use the command below in floder : clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-sles11.3/lib

find . -name *.a | grep -i getAsString

but found I nothing

11

lol. libsth.a is just a futile attempt since I have no idea where it would be.

Try

find -name *.a | xargs -n 1 nm | grep -i getAsString

You need command nm to inspect reference symbols.

HTH!

12

thanks for your quick resonse

I tried the command you mentioned

  1. My compiled “index.cc.o”

U _ZNK5clang15DeclarationName11getAsStringB5cxx11Ev

  1. grep from clang lib

U _ZNK5clang15DeclarationName11getAsStringEv

It seems a little bit difference

is it the root cause? How can I fix it?

13

My suspicion confirmed. Exactly the root cause.

U r using g++ 7.5.0, which according to gcc roadmap, originates from gcc 7 branch, around early 2017. Like I said, coincide with the official release of c++17 standard. Same reason why gcc4.9 and gcc5.4 can’t coexist (around c++14 No doesn’t look right. I’m not sure what I’m talking about. For more info, check out this SO answer).

The root cause is that g++ 7.5 mangles differently from g++ 9, which built your libclang-llvm. To successfully link, you would need to either use libclang built from 7.5 or use g++ 9 to build ccls.

Also note the version of libstdc++ also need to be compatible with the choice of g++ version.

If getting environment fixed is too much pain in the S on SUSE(especially the libstdc++ part), the easiest path is to freshly build libclang/llvm and ccls with libc++ using one same compiler.

Edit: Another look. I might be wrong about your libclang compiler version. Forget what I said about g++ 9. Try determining which version of gcc built your libclang.

YAEdit:

On a second look, this line seems a bit peculiar. Is this your only nm output from libclang?

And I tried pre-build clang 7.10, it also failed.

15

May be I need to compile clang-llvm by myself not dowload pre-build one.

Thanks

16

Yep, that’d be your best bet.
