Can't Build LAStools on Amazon Linux Operating System #175

Closed pihish closed 4 years ago

pihish commented 8 years ago

I am running an Amazon Linux distro machine and I am getting an error message when running make on the last step of setting up LAStools. The specific message is:

c++: error: unrecognized command line option '-std=c++14'

My gcc version (downloaded and installed through Amazon's distro repo) is 4.8.3 and from the looks of it, it seems to not have the option to compile in c++14.

Is there anyway to get around this problem here? Or if not, is there a built version of PotreeConverter I can download onto my machine so I don't have to locally compile it?

I believe you'll need at least gcc 4.9.

There is only a windows 64bit build available since I'm not quite familiar with handling binary releases on linux. If you can't update gcc, you can try to compile PotreeConverter 1.2 instead. It's likely slower but potree 1.3 (and the coming 1.4) are backwards compatible with output from PotreeConverter 1.2.

I know this thread is a little old but I just thought I would confirm that you do need gcc 4.9. I built this on Friday on CentOS 7 and it took quite a bit of work but I will try and get a step by step blog post up this week to hopefully make it easier for anyone else in future.

I had quite a lot of trouble getting gcc 4.9 from any trusted repo so I ended up compiling it from source which isn't too difficult but does take a little bit of time.

@talkster5 Never did find a solution to compile in Linux so a post on how you did it would be helpful!

You have to use a recent version of gcc, I had to use docker and use Ubuntu:15.10.

See https://github.com/skytales/PotreeConverter/blob/feature/docker/Dockerfile if it's of any help.

Sorry, I have been a bit occupied with other things over the past couple of weeks however I have now finished putting together the list of commands. I just need to write it up into something more meaningful over the weekend and then I will be able to send it over to you.

@park13 Hey did you have a chance to put up the guide over the weekend?

Park13 commented 8 years ago

I am getting there with it but I've had a few projects land on my desk that I wasn't expecting. I will ensure it is up tomorrow though.
