Cant build on Oracle Linux 8 Ampere V1 (arm64)

[zeduardo2000]

Greetings,
i´m not, by any means, a c++ expert and linux neither. i just want to take the oracle free tier a spin.
4 cpu´s with 24gb seems too good for personal projects.

i´m trying to build v4.0.2 from source but i´m stuck with this message:

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/opc/firebird/gen'
g++ -static-libstdc++ -pthread -Wl,-rpath,/lib -Wl,-rpath,/intl -Wl,--version-script,empty.vers /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/c_cxx.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/cmd.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/cme.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/cmp.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/exp.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/gpre.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/hsh.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/int_cxx.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/jrdmet.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/movg.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/msc.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/obj_cxx.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/par.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/pat.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/sqe.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/sql.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/gpre/boot/gpre_meta_boot.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/yvalve/gds.o /home/opc/firebird/temp/Release/common.a -o /home/opc/firebird/gen/Release/firebird/bin/gpre_boot -L/home/opc/firebird/gen/Release/firebird/lib -latomic -lm -ldl -ldecFloat -lre2
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

after the machine was created (Linux Oracle 8 a branch of centos 8) i´ve run the following commands :

git clone -b v4.0.2 https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird.git
sudo yum group install "Development Install"
sudo yum install llvm-toolset libicu libicu-devel ncurses ncurses-devel
./autogen.sh --with-system-editline=yes --with-system-icu
./configure --with-builtin-tommath --with-builtin-tomcrypt --prefix=/opt/firebird
Make

it´s seems something with static libraries, wich i´ve tried to find without any luck ...

Any help ?
Thanks

Try install something like libstdc++-devel

[zeduardo2000]

Package libstdc++-devel-8.5.0-16.0.1.el8_7.aarch64 is already installed.
. it was installed with "Development Install"
thanks

Just to try to understand what happens - try to run last command, i.e. starting g++ -static-libstdc++ -pthread -Wl,-rpath,/lib -Wl,-rpath,/intl -Wl,............... from command line without -static-libstdc++ : g++ -pthread -Wl,-rpath,/lib -Wl,-rpath,/intl -Wl,...............

Greetings

As suggested by @AlexPeshkoff, removing -static-libstdc++ advanced a little bit further.
Now it stops on

[zeduardo2000]

Should i post this question on https://groups.google.com/g/firebird-devel ?

Thanks

[AlexPeshkoff]

Yes, asking in devel good idea.

What about your last question - missing gpre_current is for sure result of building gpre_boot manually, not by make.
To move on you should fix your build environment - that's not OK when use of supported gcc switch causes message about missing library in linker.

confirmed the static-libstdc++ issue is on x86-64 host also on oracle linux 8.x
Same error at the end

I found a way to compile it on x86-64
install and configure gcc-toolset-12
https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/relnotes8.7/ol8-NewFeaturesandChanges.html#ol-features-gcc

scl enable gcc-toolset-12 bash
./configure --with-builtin-tommath --with-builtin-tomcrypt

make finishes without errors

@zeduardo2000 @AlexPeshkoff @asfernandes

the above instructions works ok also on ARM64 , so i guess we can close the issue

[AlexPeshkoff]

Certainly. IMO that's not FB but Oracle Linux issue. With new gcc version it was fixed.
