cmake error relic #145

Closed nilslukas closed 5 years ago

nilslukas commented 5 years ago

Running cmake on the build directory gives me the following output ..

CMake Error at src/abycore/CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_library): Target "aby" links to target "RELIC::relic" but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

How do I install the relic target?

Did you clone completly new? If not, did you update your submodules? The ENCRYPTO_utils library recently changed it's submodules so if you did not do it yet you should update your submodules using git submodule update --init at the root directory of the project. Also please check if the extern/ENCRYPTO_utils/extern/relic directory contains content.

If you did the recursive updating already or the relic directory contains content, it's a bug I'll look into it since the library should be built, found and used automatically.

Tried it, works. Don't know what was the problem the first time. Thanks.

this is an issue with cmake file in OTExtension (I believe), if you have already installed ENCRYPTO_utils system wide, it would go crazy trying to find it. It is also missing a call to something like find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system thread). Instead of trying to fix its cmake, I just nuked my VM and on a fresh one, build ABY (just ABY, no OTExtension, ENCRYYPTO_Utils, etc). since it couldn't detect any components available, it pulled everything into its extern directory and installed.

Not the solution you need or deserve, but a solution nevertheless.

UPDATE: Note that if you use your own projects outside of ABY and depend on ABY (and ENCRYPTO_utils) via find_package in your cmake files, this will still give you RELIC errors. The real problem is, as the comment in ENCRYPTO_utils suggests, RELIC exports poorly. I guess including it in your own projects as a submodule and doing similar trickery as in ENCRYPTO_utils cmake file would fix it, but I haven't tried it.

I am not sure what the rationale was for something that hasn't created a release in years now. May be Victor Shoup's NTL would have been a good alternative. RELIC creates unncessary pain point for the users.

I got the problem too today. And like ishaq said, it's just because you install ENCRYPTO_utils by yourself in the system wide. The way is to find the path and delete the files. In my linux(Ubutun), the file is in "/usr/local/lib/cmake". After delete dir such as ENCRYPTO_utils,OTExtension , then it will go well.

I also got this problem and this solution works!
