Compiling in Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits

[acs]

When compiling in Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits there are several minor errors with:

/home/acs/devel/fiware/orion/fiware-orion/src/lib/orionTypes/TypeEntityVector.cpp:153:50: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘uint64_t {aka long long unsigned int}’ [-Werror=format=]

Changing %lu to %llu fixes the problem. It seems that the correct fix is to use "PRIu64" but in "gcc version 4.8.2" it does not work directly.

Effort: 2 man day

The follwoing report from Alberto Martín could be also related with this issue:

While trying to install Orion Context Broker in Ubuntu 14.04, we got the following error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/root/fiware-orion/BUILD_RELEASE'

In order to fix it, we realised that the package g++ was needed. So:

apt-get install g++

And that throw us to the following one:

[ 99%] Building CXX object src/app/contextBroker/CMakeFiles/contextBroker.dir/contextBroker.cpp.o

Upgrading to the last Ubuntu 14.04:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
git clone https://github.com/staropram/cantcoap
cd cantcoap
git checkout 749e22376664dd3adae17492090e58882d3b28a7
sudo cp cantcoap.h /usr/local/include
sudo cp dbg.h /usr/local/include
sudo cp nethelper.h /usr/local/include
sudo cp libcantcoap.a /usr/local/lib

And

root@ubuntu:~/fiware-orion# make
root@ubuntu:~/fiware-orion# ./BUILD_RELEASE/src/app/contextBroker/contextBroker

We could finally install it successfully. Hope it helps.

Can some one guide me in setting up Orion Context Broker on a Ubuntu System?

Maybe the information posted in this issue could help: #11

A procedure for Ubuntu 18.04 is described at https://fiware-orion.readthedocs.io/en/master/admin/build_source/index.html#ubuntu-1804-lts.

We understand this is enough by the time being so this old issue is closed.
