ConanException: Error 2 while executing cmake --build '<HIDDEN>/orbit/build_default_relwithdebinfo' '--' '-j4'

After pulling the project and trying to compile using gcc8 and clang 7 I got at the beginning the error:

ERROR: Error reading 'default_relwithdebinfo' profile: Profile not found: gcc8_relwithdebinfo

Which I resolved duplicating clang9* and gcc9* profiles at .conan/profiles/ folder as clang8* and gcc8 profiles.

Then I tried to compile all again and after several hours and 85 Gbytes of dependencies built I got stuck with the error:

[ 26%] Built target ObjectUtils make: *** [Makefile:95: all] Error 2 ERROR: conanfile.py (OrbitProfiler/None): Error in build() method, line 172 cmake.build(target=str(self.options.build_target) if self.options.build_target else None) ConanException: Error 2 while executing cmake --build '<HIDDEN>/orbit/build_default_relwithdebinfo' '--' '-j4'

Is Orbit really compiling in gcc8 and clang7 as described in DEVELOPMENT.md ?

To build Orbit you need a compiler capable of C++17. The following ones should be fine.

• GCC 8 and above on Linux
• Clang 7 and above on Linux
• MSVC 2017, 2019 and above on Windows`

What should I do next? (Here is orbit.log with the output from compilation)

Thank you,

Hi Juanmi,
I'm sorry, you're right. We don't actively test for GCC8 compatibility anymore. I will update the DEVELOPMENT.md file.

And it seems you ran into a GCC8-specific problem. All the other compilers should work though. Can you try one of the others, maybe clang9 if possible?

./build.sh clang9_release should be one of the fastest builds. It also does not need to much disk space due to not having debug symbols.

Cheers,
Henning
