We ran into problems with precompiled protoc binaries not working on
some systems because of the dependence on a dynamically linked
libatomic. However, I found that linking against libatomic is not
actually necessary in our protoc build environment. Inside configure.ac
there's a test which figures out if we need to pass -latomic, and it
does this by attempting to build a test binary. That binary was failing
to build, but it turns out this was because we need to pass -std=c++11,
not -latomic.
This fixes#5875.
Now that we depend on C++11, we need at least GCC 4.8 instead of 4.7.
This change updates the Docker setup to continue using CentOS 6.6 but
with GCC 4.8.
I also added libm to the whitelist for dynamically linked libraries for
the ARM64 protoc binary.
1. Changed maven script to only do artifact uploading and removed build
script invocation from it. We didn't use maven to invoke the build
script before (we built protoc manually and editted pom.xml to only do
uploading for previous releases), and will not use it in the future (we
will use kokoro to build artifacts).
2. Cleaned up build-protoc.sh and README.md: removed the part about
using maven to build and listed supported platforms explicitly.
"make google/protobuf/stubs/pbconfig.h" was added in hope of addressing
the issue that when you "make protoc" from a freshly checked out
project, pbconfig.h will be reported missing. However, the trick doesn't
seem to work. Instead, add instructions in the document to work the issue
around.
Also document why MSYS2 cannot be used for publishing protoc.
1. make google/protobuf/stubs/pbconfig.h before making protoc, otherwise it
won't build a freshly checked-out code.
2. Document the build environments that have been tested to work.
3. Add support for MINGW64
release.
