hi

I tried to build monero from the source code to hopefully get the code assistant to find all names in the source code.

However even after installing MSYS2 and using the command:

> pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi mingw-w64-x86_64-unbound

The codeAnalysis tools on Visual Studio Code "clangd" (clangTidy) and even "C/C++" (intelliSense) can't make sense of the source code.

I can't believe that monero core devs are dealing with error lens issues, so what exactly must I do so all headers are found correctly?

I mean is needed so that codeAnalysis can understand the code?

*what

Did you build the source code? Code analysis will use CMakeLists.txt or whatever build files it can find, I guess. So you need to make sure it all builds without errors.

I used the command: make release-static-win64

and did it finish without errors?

It finished with this:

[100%] Linking CXX executable ../../bin/monero-blockchain-prune-known-spent-data.exe

[100%] Built target blockchain_prune_known_spent_data

[100%] Building CXX object src/blockchain_utilities/CMakeFiles/blockchain_prune.dir/blockchain_prune.cpp.obj

[100%] Linking CXX executable ../../bin/monero-blockchain-prune.exe

[100%] Built target blockchain_prune

make[2]: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.

make[1]: Leaving directory '/h/500_WORKSPACE/monero/build/MINGW64_NT-10.0-19045/master/release'

There were no errors, just warnings.

And it completed with 100%

Then refer to the code analysis documentation or whatever you use. If it doesn't support using CMake files, you're out of luck.

It does.

Not sure why you assumed that there is a compatibility with CMake files.

*issue

Do you have a working environment?

I do

But I don't use vscode

and code analysis plugin or whatever it is

so refer to their documentation to debug why they can't find header files

it's probably because you're running it outside of MSYS2 environment and it can't find all header paths (my guess)

How does your setup look?

How can I replicate yours so that everything is found?

Just a standard MSYS2 installation, and following Monero build instructions

I don't use VSCode and code analysis plugin

This is what I mean by it cannot find the headers:

warnings.h is in contrib/epee/include folder. The include path must be somewhere in the CMake files, otherwise it wouldn't have compiled.

So it's a matter of your tools not picking up everything

Thanks for the clarification.

Also, this is main.cpp in tests folder. IIRC it doesn't compile when you just run make release-static-win64

So there are no generated CMake files for this specific folder

sech1 so how do I run main.cpp?

I am aware that there are instructions on how to build the test files but this probably does not fic code analysis

*fix

"make release-test" to build tests

I don't know if it will fix the code analysis, you're the first one trying this

What about your code analysis? Does it mark everything as errors?

Monero repository uses Coverity for code analysis

They can't fix setup issues with every other code analysis tool under the sun

No, I am asking because I am thinking about using a different environment with a compatible code analysis tool.

Built-in compiler warnings + Coverity reports is what I have for Monero repo. Some other tools like PVS Studio and cppcheck also work just fine, but I rarely use them with Monero repo. You're welcome to provide a patch that will enable code analysis in VSCode.

I would maybe if I get it to work before loosing patience and switching environments.

Why are there source files that include themselves without any other content?

filename crypto-ops.c in directory crypto-ops... content: #include "crypto/crypto-ops.c"

filename crypto-ops.c in directory crypto... content:  "crypto/crypto-ops.c"

....

...

...

Why are there source files that include themselves without any other content?

filename crypto-ops.c in directory crypto... content:  #include "crypto/crypto-ops.c"

what? It doesn't include crypto-ops.c

It includes crypto-ops.h

Please verify

#include "crypto/crypto-ops.c"

are the contents of crypto-ops.c

which is in the directory crypto

Try to find #include "crypto/crypto-ops.c" there

Yes it is there.

I can't find: #include <boost/optional.hpp>

This should have been already installed via:

> pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi mingw-w64-x86_64-unbound

There is no #include "crypto/crypto-ops.c" in github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/src/crypto/crypto-ops.c - do a search in the browser window for this file. Your crypto-ops.c was corrupt by something.

I ran this via command prompt:

git clone --recursive github.com/monero-project/monero.git

<j​babb:cypherstack.com> Isn’t this the test importing the implementation?

yes it is

it's just a test code

<j​babb:cypherstack.com> So… it’s not importing itself. A test is importing what needs to be tested. The actual tests will lie somewhere else, check which files import that test file.

#include <boost/optional.hpp> I don't have that

but I installed this:

>  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi mingw-w64-x86_64-unbound

Search for boost files in msys64 folder, they will be there

I added this to my environment variables and it is also recognized when called via gcc --version: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin

And I also have C:\msys64\mingw64\include\boost and there is also optional.cpp in it

why the f is it not recognized?

I'll restart my system

nope still can't find boost/optional.cpp although it literally is there

<p​reland:monero.social> Just gonna warn you because I did this and it ruined my arch setup—

<p​reland:monero.social> Be very VERY careful if you try to change the version of boost on your system

<p​reland:monero.social> Or try to manually build it

<p​reland:monero.social> Basically if you mess with boost things get bad rly rly fast

p​reland: and I thought aready that boost seems like a pain in the ass

--extra-entropy argument for monero-wallet-rpc, will speed up the start or "only" help for better entropy?

manually building boost is easy enough. just don't try to install it anywhere. point the Monero build at the boost staging directory instead.

<h​igherlearning1771:matrix.org> Hello

<p​reland:monero.social> I tried that, and my linker literally wouldn’t listen to the cmake file

I'm devastated. How do I build without HIDAPI? Or better without the absolut minimum, I need only `monero-wallet-rpc` and only --offline, without zmq without libhidapi-libusb.so.0, and as static as possible on armv6, I need to build on pi zero w, I still have my build and with ccache on a microSD, what is the shortest path to get a f... build working without external dependencies? I build on PiOS, but the executable goes to a sttripped down buildroot image.

Any help appreciated. Thanks for reading. Need to go now first to get some fresh air.

And best would be realy to only build monero-wallet-rpc, and let aside all what is not needed... pi zero needs 20+ hours to compile....
