Building SystemC Library for ISO C++ 2011 standard with MinGW

I have some C++ code, which requires the ISO C++ 2011 standard and also uses SystemC functionality. Therefore I guess it makes most sense to build the SystemC library with the same standard. For the build MinGW should be used. I already did the complete setup once with Visual Studio successfully and have to switch to MinGW now.

My problem is now, that when I try to build the SystemC library with anything else than CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 98 (I tried 11, 14 and 17), I get the following outcome:

mingw32-make.exe: *** [Makefile:148: all] Error 2

My complete workflow is as follows:

  1. Download the latest SystemC code.
  2. Open CMake GUI, define source and build folder, choose MinGW, choose the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD, click on "Configure" and then on "Generate".
  3. Move to the build folder, open a CLI and type "mingw32-make.exe".
  4. Build happens.

Did anybody encounter the same issue and has a solution or does anybody has a hint what I could have done wrong?

Solution

  • The build is possible by using these two additional CMAKE flags: CMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-DSC_CPLUSPLUS=199701L and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-DSC_CPLUSPLUS=199701L. They make it possible to build with a newer standard (e.g. 2011 or 2014) while not using the new features, which apparently don't work well.
