build failing, v0.3.0 and latest main

[ExpandingMan]

Trying to build, I attempted a few variations similar to the github workflow to get it working, but I always get the following syntax error:

make[2]: *** [libs/debug_device/CMakeFiles/anari_library_debug.dir/build.make:104: libs/debug_device/CMakeFiles/anari_library_debug.dir/DebugBasics.cpp.o] Error 1

I have tried this on g++ versions 11 and 12, but get identical errors.

I am building with

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL=$nproc \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${prefix} \

    -DBUILD_VIEWER=OFF \
    -DBUILD_CTS=OFF
cmake --build . -t install

cmake gives the following configuration dialogue

What kind of platform is this?
The error is weird to me since it suggests to include cinttypes but the file already includes inttypes.h which clearly should have PRIu64 defined unless the platform somehow doesn't define uint64_t. But then there would be WAY more errors.

Does adding the cinttypes header as the error suggests fix it?

[progschj]

Apparently this is some quirk of old glibc versions. I hope changing to cinttypes fixes it which I included in the presumably soon to be merged maintenance PR. #141

[ExpandingMan]

It's just good old x86_64 linux.

Cool, thanks. In the meantime I'll try it with newer glibc. I forgot that the build system I'm using here tends to use older libs.

[jeffamstutz]

Is this still a problem?

[ExpandingMan]

No, closing, thanks.
