compiling on ubuntu 16.10

[yosoufe]

Hi
I have recently installed ubuntu 16.10 and I am trying to install stlink driver. Unfortunately I cannot compile the code. What am I doing wrong? problems with ubuntu 16.10?

CMakeFiles_output.zip

This is the output of the make release command:

make release

It seems (your) cmake (version) chokes on this: https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/cmake/Version.cmake#L25-L26

Which version are you running cmake --version?
If I look at the ubuntu package list you should be running 3.5.x (http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/cmake)

[yosoufe]

Thanks for response.

it is cmake version 3.5.2
How can I solve it? I am newbie in these topics

[xor-gate]

I need to investigate this. As I have no problems with cmake 3.0 (debian 8) and 3.7 (mac osx). Did you do a git clone or downloaded a zip file with sources?

[yosoufe]

I downloaded the zip file

[xor-gate]

I have proposed a fix. It was due to developing and building from a git tree (and version detection from git), and I have not checked against zipfile source building.

Thanks for reporting, it should work now!

[xor-gate]

I need to fix this (also) on older git versions, reopening... It seems the continues integration build has failed.

Manual tested on

• Debian 8, cmake 3.0, git version ??
• Mac OS X, cmake 3.7, git version 2.9.3 (Apple Git-75)

Broken on

• Ubuntu ?version 12? on Travis CI (needs exact versions reported >here<)

[newtoniant]

I too am getting this build error on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, cmake version 3.5.1

Errors in the log:
unrecognized command line option '-Wmissing-variable-declarations'
unrecognized command line option '-Wshorten-64-to-32'

[xor-gate]

@newtoniant this should not be relevant when using a newer zipfile (master.zip). Commit 0c63a2c should fix this.

[xor-gate]

Closing, preparing for v1.3.0. Feel free to open a new issue after the new release has happend.

[alukichev]

This appears also when building from git tree with git checkout 1.3.1; make debug on Fedora 25 (gcc 6.3.1, cmake 3.6.2). CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log are attached.

In particular, errors are the same:

Requesting to reopen the issue.

[alukichev]

Problem solved. I was missing libusb headers : - ) . Sorry to bother.

[fedorg]

The easiest solution is to remove the .git directory and try again:
rm -r build && sudo rm -rf .git && make
It works on Linux Mint 18.3 and probably everywhere.
Oh, and don't forget to run sudo ldconfig after sudo make install
