CMake "clang ++ cannot compile simple test program" (Fedora 20)
So I tried to install clang + cmake to compile a simple C ++ program and I get the following error:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.3
-- The CXX compiler identification is Clang 3.5.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/local/bin/clang++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/local/bin/clang++ -- broken
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:54 (message):
The C++ compiler "/usr/local/bin/clang++" is not able to compile a simple
test program.
It fails with the following output:

It doesn't even compile my program because it fails to compile the test program.
Looks like an important line:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
However, I have verified that it is libstdc++
installed and updated, so at this point I am completely lost.
Other things I've tried:
- Using prebuilt binaries instead
sudo yum install clang
- uninstall and reinstall
- Tried it
clang++ hello.cpp
(hello world program). He says he was<iostreams>
not found. Is clang the missing standard library? EDIT: Going to is<iostream>
giving me the same linker error above.
I'm not familiar with the clang scene, cmake and C ++ in general, so I would appreciate any pointers. Thank!
You need development libraries and headers for C ++ library, try
yum install libstdc++-devel
It seems that your / home / gnu / bin / C ++ requires an extra flag to reference things correctly, and CMake is unaware of this.
To use / usr / bin / C ++ how your compiler runs cmake with -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER = / usr / bin / C ++.
In addition, the variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH sets the target directory where the project files should be installed. It has nothing to do with the CMake installation prefix, and CMake itself already knows this.
