Hi @Mihir-Raj-Singh, thanks for raising an issue. I have been playing around with this today and I am really struggling to reproduce this bug. I am using Ubuntu 18.04, so I don't have access to Linux Mint however I have tested your reproduction steps with the following gcc versions: 7.5, 8.4, 9.4, 10.3 and 11.1. None of these compiler versions gave me the error you describe and the compilation completed successfully in all cases. I know you are using 11.3, so perhaps there is a specific issue with that version.

Could I ask you please switch to a different version of gcc, maybe 10.X, and then try to compile in the way you have detailed in your post?

Thanks in advance.

iammihirsig · 2023-01-06T06:01:44Z

Thanks @tom-daubney-arm for pointing out.
I installed another version of gcc/g++ .
But can you please specify how I run cmake with another version of gcc ? (It's take 11.03 by default) I have installed gcc-10 but gcc always refers to 11.03 by default in system and also in cmake.
My whole system is dependent upon version 11.03. So I can't remove it.

My suggestion is that we need one more person to test it if it works or not. Maybe the problem is within my system.

tom-daubney-arm · 2023-01-06T08:55:22Z

So I am not exactly sure of the proceedure in Linux Mint, however this webpage explains how it works on my machine running Ubuntu 18.04. I guess since Mint is derived from Ubuntu there is a chance that this could work on Mint as well.

Scroll down to the bottom of the webpage to the heading "Installing Multiple GCC Versions". From here you can see how the command sudo update-alternatives --config gcc works for switching out the default version of gcc on an Ubuntu system. It requires some set up commands to be run first, but this is all detailed in the linked webpage. Maybe this works on Mint, or if not you will need to find an equivalent system/command on Mint.

Please report back with your findings. Thank you.

iammihirsig · 2023-01-06T09:20:42Z

Indeed , the gcc switching method works on mint .
I did try it with other older gcc versions as suggested. But still I encounter the same error.
It's not a gcc problem, I guess.

Maybe I should close this Issue ?

tom-daubney-arm · 2023-01-06T10:43:44Z

Hi @Mihir-Raj-Singh , It's possible that we will end up closing the issue but I am happy to do some more investigating first if that is possible. Could you please paste your entire cmake output, both the configuration and the actual build output as text, rather than a partial screenshot? I might be able to get a bit more information that way.

Also, have you tried cloning the project again? By that I mean does this error occur every time you try to clone the project from scratch?

tom-daubney-arm · 2023-01-06T10:45:40Z

Note: Edited title to better reflect the nature of the error.

iammihirsig · 2023-01-06T13:12:24Z

Hey @tom-daubney-arm , It's alright let's do some more investigation on this issue. Will be a great opportunity for me to learn as a beginner in programming and in open source.

I did try cloning the project from scratch , it occurs every time.

Can you please be more specific which configuration file you are talking about ? (If you need anything else let me know.)

Thanks. The configuration output I was referring to is what you have copied over in the first block of output. Thanks for sending that.

I will also need your cmake version please

iammihirsig · 2023-01-06T13:18:44Z

Thank you , Here you go :

cmake version 3.22.1

Well, something went wrong here. Two bugs:

generate_errors.pl is complaining about something. It doesn't normally do that. We need to figure out why.
The error didn't stop the build. It should have.

tom-cosgrove-arm · 2023-01-06T14:36:48Z

readline() on closed filehandle FILE

This is because there is no check for success/failure after open(FILE, '<:crlf', "$file") at line 67 in scripts/generate_errors.pl.

Of course, the next obvious question is why did that open() fail? I'm wondering about the space in the pathname

gilles-peskine-arm · 2023-01-06T14:39:06Z

why did that open() fail?

My guess is that cmake is invoking the script in the wrong directory when doing an out-of-tree build (perhaps with additional preconditions for it going wrong).

gilles-peskine-arm · 2023-01-06T14:40:18Z

Note to whoever fixes that bug: if you're not familiar with perl and you prefer to rewrite the script in python, feel free.

tom-cosgrove-arm · 2023-01-06T14:42:30Z

Okay, I can reproduce this with a space in the path leading to the checked-out code

tom-cosgrove-arm · 2023-01-06T14:56:29Z

So to the OP: until this fix gets into the library, the workaround is not to have a directory name with a space in it in the path leading to the code (even using cmake .. rather than cmake /path/to/directory with/spaces won't work, I'm afraid, as cmake seems to expand relative paths)

tom-daubney-arm · 2023-01-06T15:30:02Z

Thanks @tom-cosgrove-arm and @gilles-peskine-arm. I will raise a PR that patches the Perl script.
