GCC Issue: Compiling Mongodb 3.0 from source

[Astro]

I am compiling mongodb from source using this doc.

Cloned source v3.0 from this repo https://github.com/mongodb/mongo.git

The doc states that :

       To build MongoDB, you will need:

• C++11 to build 3.0.x branches or later 
• A modern C++ compiler. One of the followings is required.
  • GCC 4.8.2 or newer 
  • Clang 3.4 (or Apple XCode 5.1.1 Clang) or newer
  • Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 or newer
• Python 2.7
• SCons 2.3

Despite all of the available dependencies met I got following error message and process exists:

Checking if C++ compiler is GCC 5.3.0 or newer...no

Checking if C compiler is GCC 5.3.0 or newer...no

Any help?

Hi -

We did recently update the required compilers on the master branch, and the GitHub wiki for the project has unfortunately not yet been updated to reflect those changes. We will make sure to update it. 

However, those changes only affect the master branch, which holds our current development version, currently 3.3.5. The v3.0 branch that you intend to build has not had the required compilers upgraded, and should still match the information on the wiki.

Can you double check that you succesfully checked out the v3.0 branch after you cloned? What does running 'git describe' print for you in your clone?

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks for reaching back.

I faced the issue when I downloaded repo 3.0 and 3.0.11 using zip download.

But when the repo was cloned using git clone, that looks like working.

Not sure what goes wrong when zip is downloaded.

Hi -

Can you please provide the link to the zip archive that you downloaded? I'd like to verify the contents.

Happy to hear that you were able to get building after cloning.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi acm,

Git url: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/tree/v3.0

I selected branch 3.0 from UI, then Download Zip using:   https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/archive/v3.0.zip

Thanks,

[Andrew Morrow]

I just pulled down those zip files for both the v3.0 branch and the r3.0.11 tag, and the top level SConstruct file in both of those definitely only enforces GCC 4.8.2, not GCC 5.3. So, I'm really not sure why you were getting that error message. That should only be possible if you had downloaded the zip file for the master branch.

[Astro]

Thanks for looking into it.

Following are the steps to reproduce the issue:

wget https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/archive/v3.0.zip

unzip v3.0.zip

scons mongod mongos mongo 

I ran into another issue, below is the stacktrace:

Hi -

When you download the zip file from github that way, it doesn't give you the repository metadata, which is what the build system uses to derive a version number.

If you want to build from source, I recommend either:

- Making a complete git clone of the repository and checking out the version you are interested in building, or

- Downloading a source archive, which will contain a pre-interpolated version number.

Finally, if neither of the above is an option for you, you can explicitly pass the version and git hash that you want to set for the build by passing the SCons Variables MONGO_VERSION and MONGO_GITHASH to your SCons invocation:

scons MONGO_VERSION=x.y.z MONGO_GITHASH=none ...

Thanks,

Andrew
