/usr/bin/cc - broken when cmake -DRPI4ARM64=1

[entewurzelauskuh]

Hi! I was following this tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/s1os21/create_your_own_free_dedicated_server/

Like written in the post, I'm running a Linux instance1 5.15.0-1013-oracle #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:14:16 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux from the Free Tier subscription of Oracle Cloud.

I had no problems with box86, but when I tried cmake .. -DRPI4ARM64=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo with box64, I got this error from cmake:

-- Found Python3: /usr/bin/python3.10 (found version "3.10.4") found components: Interpreter
-- The C compiler identification is unknown

-- Found assembler: /usr/bin/cc

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:69 (message):
  The C compiler

    "/usr/bin/cc"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

If others are able to run it in the oracle cloud using the free and their aarch64, why am I not? Is that a bug or am I just stupid?

I tried suppressing the test program with cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS=1 .. -DRPI4ARM64=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo but then I ran into make -j$(nproc):

I don't know what happens, but your cmake configuration seems completly broken. delete the build forlder and start over. There is no -mab=lp64 in box64 CMakeList.txt

[Jai-JAP]

Try reinstalling build-essentials On debian or ubuntu thats sudo apt install --reinstall -y build-essential

[entewurzelauskuh]

Done both, sudo apt install --reinstall gcc build-essential gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf libc6:armhf libncurses5:armhf libstdc++6:armhf and deleted build folder, ran cmake .. -DRPI4ARM64=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo, same issue. I'm sorry if I'm too novice in that, if you need any output please let me know

[Jai-JAP]

Try deleting box64 folder and reclone Also what os do use

• post output of
  • uname -a
  • cat /etc/lsb_release

[entewurzelauskuh]

Tried deleting and recloned, unfortunately same issue still uname -a Linux instance1 5.15.0-1013-oracle #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:14:16 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux cat /etc/lsb_release cat: /etc/lsb_release: No such file or directory

[entewurzelauskuh]

Yea, it's a free VPS from Oracle: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/, Arm-based Ampere A1 cores I was wondering why it seemed to work for everyone else from the reddit thread with Oracle's Ampere VPS, but not for me

[Jai-JAP]

Post the output of ls -l /usr/bin/cc

[entewurzelauskuh]

ls -l /usr/bin/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 22 21:26 /usr/bin/cc -> /etc/alternatives/cc

[Jai-JAP]

That should be good Can't tell what the error is based on this info

[entewurzelauskuh]

No problem, thanks for your time mate! Maybe somebody else has another idea

[PeterStrick]

No problem, thanks for your time mate! Maybe somebody else has another idea.

I build box64 successfully on an Ampere ARM instance running Ubuntu 22.04 with the following script:

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf box64
git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64
cd box64
mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DARM_DYNAREC=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt

You´ll need the following dependencies

sudo apt install make cmake build-essential git

[PeterStrick]

Alternatively you could also just use daily pre-compiled binaries https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/blob/main/docs/COMPILE.md#debian-based-linux

[entewurzelauskuh]

I executed sudo apt install make cmake build-essential git, all of that was already present but to be sure I added --reinstall. I then tried cmake .. -DARM_DYNAREC=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo but I still got the same error. Dang, no idea what's wrong with my machine. I added the repo and installing the binary from there seemed to work, thanks for the tip!

No problem, just a hint the box64 binary only updates from the repo if you run sudo apt upgrade

[jserv]

Is this issue still valid?
