Hi, I’m trying to build the PulseScenarioDriver on a Raspberry Pi 4.

It seems the build fails when linking due to multiple definitions of a bunch of symbols (see below).

My call to cmake:  
cmake -DCMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE:STRING=Release -DPulse\_DOWNLOAD\_BASELINES:BOOL=ON …/engine  
My call to make:  
make -j4

Can someone help me understand what the issue is?

Thanks!

Hmm  
I have not done that in a while, but I don’t see why it would not work.

What Pulse branch/hash are you building?  
What compiler and version are you using?

I assume this is something to do with how our templates are being processed by the compiler…

Thanks for your reply.

Pulse commit I’m building:  
commit b5ef23de07cfba6878a54663e5a0bf0b48b172dc (HEAD → stable, origin/stable, origin/HEAD)

Compiler Info:  
gcc (Raspbian 12.2.0-14+rpi1) 12.2.0

Cmake Info:  
cmake version 3.25.1

Please let m me know if there’s any additional info you’d like or anything I should try.

Can you try attaching the full build log?

The forum doesn’t allow .txt files, and the log is too large for pastebin so I uploaded it here. Thanks!

I guess we have some C++ code in Pulse that the newer versions of arm64 GCC are now not happy about… I will have to see how I can easily reproduce this to get a fix in

Thanks for looking into this, it’s much appreciated. Do you happen to have a guess as to the last version of arm gcc that was able to successfully build your code?

I have been building fine for android arm platforms pretty well.  
But its been quite a while since I built Pulse on a small compute machine like raspberry pi.

I found [this issue that seems pretty similar](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/issues/3396) to what you are getting.

Are you sure you are building on a 64-bit OS?

For whatever reason, the platform you are building on does not like double precision stl vectors
