Compilation failure against Boost 1.70.0

[Conn-artist]

Hi,

Version: git commit 08d470c, 15 Apr 2019
Platform: Debian Stretch
Plugin/Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
Description: I have been trying to compile Domoticz from source using the instructions in the wiki. I built Boost 1.70.0 from scratch and it is detected by Domoticz. However there seems to be something going wrong with the version number detection: Found libBoost version 1.70.0, 106000 or newer required

Here's the output of cmake:

Code: Select all

-- Found Boost 1.70.0 at /usr/local/lib/cmake/Boost-1.70.0
--   Requested configuration: QUIET REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread;system
-- Found boost_headers 1.70.0 at /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_headers-1.70.0

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:589 (message):
Found libBoost version 1.70.0, 106000 or newer required

Using cmake 3.7.2.

The Debian Stretch installation is fresh and I removed all factory-installed libboost libraries before compiling.

The last entries in CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log are:

Determining if the function pthread_create exists in the pthreads failed with the following output:

Any suggestions are appreciated.

FWIW: compilation of the release 4.9700 throws the same error.

[Conn-artist]

More effort was spent figuring out what the issue was. Eventually I installed the libboost-system/thread libraries that come with Stretch, and the compilation continued a lot further.

However, after a long time it still bombed out with boost-related errors.

Eventually I capitulated and installed 4.9700 with

curl -sSL install.domoticz.com | sudo bash

and now all is well.

I've started getting this error as well.
I had previously compiled from source with no problems, but suddenly, after running `updatedomo` from the domoticz directory, I got the error

Code: Select all

Found libBoost version 1.70.0, 106000 or newer required

What is your Cmake version ?

You need to use CMake 3.14, it is explained on our wiki

[pocock]

Distributions don't have cmake 3.14, e.g. the most recent Debian release has 3.13 and stretch still has 3.7.2:

https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cmake.html

It would make it a lot easier for people using distributions if Domoticz avoids dependencies on the latest versions of tools. Compiler macros can also be used sometimes to support older API versions.

Personally, I found that Domoticz compiles successfully with 3.7.2 and 3.13 so when I build the packages, I just change the CMake config to accept 3.7.0 or greater:

Anybody who wants to install from packages on Debian/Raspbian, stretch or buster, can find details in this thread:

I have the same error

Found libBoost version 1.71.0, 106000 or newer required

While I use CMake 3.15.2 as written in the wiki...
