lcm-1.5.0 doesn't build on Ubuntu 18.04 (WSL2) - RESOLVED: Issue was a Windows MSYS2 install being used by cmake

DanielChaseButterfield commented 6 months ago

I am trying to build lcm-1.5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 (in Windows Subsystem for Linux).

I have installed cmake-3.28 from source, as lcm requires a cmake version of 3.12+, and the default cmake version installed through apt was 3.10. I have also installed build-essential and libglib2.0-dev as required

I ran the following commands in the root of the lcm repository:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The make process get to about 2%, and then fails. Here is my standard output:

[  1%] Built target lcm_use_file
[  2%] Building C object lcm/CMakeFiles/lcm-static.dir/lcm.c.o
lcm/CMakeFiles/lcm-static.dir/build.make:89: recipe for target 'lcm/CMakeFiles/lcm-static.dir/lcm.c.o' failed
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:568: recipe for target 'lcm/CMakeFiles/lcm-static.dir/all' failed
Makefile:165: recipe for target 'all' failed

And here is a VERY SMALL SAMPLE of the 9000+ lines of error output:

Does anyone have any idea of what could be going wrong? There seems to be an incredible high number of glib errors, but since I've installed libglib2.0-dev with apt, I'm pretty confident that my installation is correct.

I tested on Ubuntu 18.04 WSL2 and it built successfully. A difference from your setup is I installed CMake with pip instead of from source. What version of WSL do you have, wsl --version?

DanielChaseButterfield commented 6 months ago

@ihilt My wsl version is 2 as well. This the output of running wsl --version on the Windows Command Prompt:

WSL version: 2.0.14.0
Kernel version: 5.15.133.1-1
WSLg version: 1.0.59
MSRDC version: 1.2.4677
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.22635.2841

You mentioned that you got it working by installing cmake with pip, so I also tried with that setup. I uninstalled cmake from source by running sudo make uninstall in the source directory, and I also uninstalled an older version of cmake from apt by running sudo apt remove cmake. I installed cmake again through Python3 pip with the command python3 -m pip install cmake, which installed cmake 3.27. I ran hash -r to forget the path to the previous cmake install, and when I run cmake --version, I now get:

cmake version 3.27.9

This tells me that I've now replicated your cmake install. However, after deleting the build directory for lcm, and re-running the commands, I get the same error output:

...resuming near the end...

From this, I conclude that my cmake install is probably correct. Seeing as my WSL2 install also matches yours, I'm more or less at a loss of what could be the issue.

Interesting, CMake is finding GLib installed from MSYS.

-- Found GLib2: /mnt/c/msys64/mingw64/lib/libglib-2.0.a  found components: glib

My output shows:

-- Found GLib2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so  found components: glib

I installed GLib with apt-get install libglib2.0-dev.

DanielChaseButterfield commented 6 months ago

Okay, that was it. I have a MSYS2 installed on my Windows Desktop. Somehow, cmake was able to see my glib installation for the windows side, and was using that instead of my libglib2.0-dev install. I uninstalled MSYS2 on the Windows side, and I got the correct output in my cmake .. command:

-- Found GLib2_glib: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so
-- Found GLib2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so  found components: glib

Now, it properly builds and installs! Thanks so much @ihilt.

Obviously, this is out of the scope of this project, but I wonder why cmake could see files from the Windows side while it was in WSL...
