Does it work if you install abseil through your system package manager and then pass -DUSE_SYSTEM_ABSEIL=ON to cmake? It should.

There's also EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS that install.py knows about.

So something like EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DUSE_SYSTEM_ABSEIL=ON ./install.py --verbose --clangd-completer.

@bstaletic thank you for quick reply.

Unfortunately I made a mistake, I thought ycm is using a python module of absl but it is a cpp version. I haven't find a BSD port for absl-cpp, so there is no System Package in bsd... If this is a absl-cpp module compile issue, then should i report a compiling issues in https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp?

Bummer...

Basically yes. However, YCM is using this commit of abseil: https://github.com/ycm-core/ycmd/blob/master/cpp/CMakeLists.txt#L248

Maybe master is already fixed? Either way, the problem needs to be fixed in abseil-cpp first. Then YCM can update the referred-to commit.

[nerozero]

I found this post: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/issues/1587

[bstaletic]

Latest Abseil LTS is this https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/d7aaad83b488fd62bd51c81ecf16cd938532cc0a

Would you mind trying that commit? If YCM compiles, I can make a pull request that updates it. Or you can.

[nerozero]

Already done testing ( by changing GIT_TAG d7aaad83b488fd62bd51c81ecf16cd938532cc0a in third_party/ycmd/cpp/CMakeLists.txt ). Compiled and worked successfully.

[nerozero]

One day - no issues with YCM. I guess we can close issue. Hope this commit of absl ( https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/d7aaad83b488fd62bd51c81ecf16cd938532cc0a ) appear in next YCM release.

[bstaletic]

We keep issues like this open until the next time we update the ycmd submodule. We have updated it just before you opened this issue, though there is no fixed schedule. Rather "it's been a while".

In the mean time, a possible workaround isgit submodule update --remote, which pulls in ycmd master.

[nerozero]

@bstaletic Thank you so much for very quick reactions!

[Fab1anDev]

Can confirm. i removed GIT TAG in third_party/ycmd/cpp/CMakeList.txt. Works well on FreeBSD 14.1.
