Compiling on Debian leads to missing compiler messages

Archive Greenbone Community Edition

Trying to compile openvas-smb from source:

  1. git clone https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-smb.git
  2. cd openvas-smb
  3. mkdir BUILD
  4. cd BUILD
  5. cmake ..
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:27 (project):
  The CMAKE_C_COMPILER:

    /usr/share/clang/scan-build/ccc-analyzer

  is not a full path to an existing compiler tool.

  Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
  variable "CC" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the full path to
  the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.

Same for other parts. Debian just does not know about ccc-analyzer.

clang version:

$ clang --version
clang version 9.0.1-9 
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

Debian package versions:

libllvm7:amd64  1:7.0.1-10 Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, runtime library
libllvm9:amd64  1:9.0.1-9  Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, runtime library
llvm-9          1:9.0.1-9  Modular compiler and toolchain technologies
llvm-9-dev      1:9.0.1-9  Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, libraries and headers
llvm-9-runtime  1:9.0.1-9  Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, IR interpreter
llvm-9-tools    1:9.0.1-9  Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, tools

missing ccc-analyzer

$ ccc-analyzer
-bash: ccc-analyzer: command not found

while tool scan-build is available:

$ which scan-build
/usr/bin/scan-build

Same for checked out branch and source snapshot downloads.

Just install the package with your Debian system :wink:

No. Does not help out:

# apt install clang-tools

clang-tools is already the newest version (1:9.0-49).

Same as before:

Sure this ccc-analyzer was not renamed or directories renamed? With clang-9?

Says it all. cmake can’t find your c compiler. Set CMAKE_C_COMPILE or the CC environment variable. This seems to be not an issue with our software but your setup and cmake.

CMAKE_C_COMPILER: /usr/share/clang/scan-build/ccc-analyzer

is set by cmake. Wherever this comes from
