Arch Linux

Thanks for bringing this up, gdolle! I've chimed in at https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/issues/2310 to hopefully get this changed at the upstream level. Let's see what happens...

Upstream doesn't seem interested. It looks like we'll just have to patch it.

I think I ran into exactly this problem. I tried compiling https://github.com/Decave/JCoz which depends upon spdlog. It gives me the error:

[admin_t@archpc JCoz]$ make all
g++ -I/usr/lib/jvm/zulu-8/bin/../include -I/usr/lib/jvm/zulu-8/bin/../include/linux -I/usr/include -mfpmath=sse -std=gnu++0x -fdiagnostics-show-option -fexceptions -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -funsigned-char -Fvisibility=hidden -m64 -msse2 -g -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -Wframe-larger-than=16384 -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wunused-but-set-parameter -Wvla -Wno-conversion-null -Wno-builtin-macro-redefined -Wformat-security -Wformat -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-strict-overflow -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Woverloaded-virtual -Wwrite-strings -O3 -c /home/admin_t/Code/JCoz/src/native/bci_hits.cc -o /home/admin_t/Code/JCoz/build-64/bci_hits.pic.o

Which shows that that spdlog tries to access /usr/include/spdlog/fmt/bundled/core.h while the directory /usr/include/spdlog/fmt/bundled does not exist. Upstream there exists a fmt/bundeled directory ( https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/v1.x/include/spdlog/fmt ).

Thanks for bringing this back to my attention, Rukula. This slipped my mind. :(

Could you test with spdlog-1.11.0-2 which was just pushed to [community-testing]? That should resolve the issue. gdolle, if you're still hanging around feel free to test, too!

Thank you for the quick fix.
I installed spdlog-1.11.0-2 and it fixes the specific problem I had with the compilation. Now JCoz does compile, but doesn't run. This way I can not confirm whether spdlog works properly. Trying to run JCoz gives an error:

[admin_t@archpc JCoz]$ make run-workload

make: *** [Makefile:105: run-workload] Fehler 1

https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/issues/362 seems to suggest that this could be related to libfmt, although it could also just be a problem of JCoz since it doesn't look like it is maintained anymore.
It would be helpful if somebody has a working application that uses spdlog and confirm that it works in a normal usecase.

Thanks for testing. I'm going to go ahead and move that package to [community]. If there's anything else that needs to happen, please file another ticket!
