Error compiling, duplicate member on header, endian.h - c++

I am trying work with FingerPrinter SDK, it shows an example to runs it on linux, i run it on linux cuz its more customizable than windows, well i followed all instructions included to build and compile, but i get this error. These SDK uses libusb library and some usb rules, both are perfectly installed and allowed. Hope get some help.
this is the complete pack where you can find all codes and readmes.
Dowload code!

The stdlib.h is including the endian.h from your (or the SDK's) source code instead of the one from the standard include files, thus __BYTE_ORDER is never defined. Find the conflicting endian.h file and rename it. Or remove -I compilation flag from your tool chain.

Message "error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert'"

I had a piece of code that was including some Boost headers. Upon compilation I received errors like
/usr/local/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:1041:9: error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert'
BOOST_ASSERT( deleter_.use_count() <= 1 );
^
/usr/local/include/boost/assert.hpp:60:29: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_ASSERT'
# define BOOST_ASSERT(expr) assert(expr)
^
These errors however only occurred on Windows and macOS.
Explicitly including either <cassert> or <assert.h> before the Boost headers had no effect.
You need to #include <cassert> to bring in the assert implementation.
It's your job to define or not define NDEBUG accordingly.
I'm surprised Boost doesn't do that for you - are you using the Boost files correctly (i.e. including the files that you're supposed to)?
As it turned out I had a file called Assert.h in my include-path (a custom file of mine). On case-insensitive file systems as used by Windows and macOS, this would shadow the original assert.h header that actually defines the assert macro.
The solution therefore was simply to rename my assert-header file.
(I found the solution thanks to [Compilation Error] error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert' #15.)

Compiling bfx-cpp-api - Byte datatype undeclared

So I am looking to compile this project https://github.com/MMquant/bfx-cpp-api using the example code. I have included the cryptopp file that was suggested in the read me. It is found here: https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp.
I am using Ubutnu version 17.10 and the GNU compiler.
Here's how I am compiling:
g++ example.cpp BitfinexAPI.cpp BitfinexAPI.hpp -Icryptopp -I. -o a -w -std=c++17
It seems strange that BitFinex would support broken code so I am fairly sure that the issue must be something that I am doing.
The errors I am getting are related to line 936 where the datatype 'byte' is not declared. My prediction is that I am missing a header file somewhere but any help would be appreciated.

#kabanus identified the problem.
Crypto++ used to provide a byte in the global C++ namespace. It was there for two reasons. First, it was a convenience item on Linux. You could use byte instead of CryptoPP::byte. Second, it avoided compiler errors on Windows. Microsoft SDK's provide a byte in the global namespace, and if we put a byte at CryptoPP::byte then compile errors resulted from ambiguous definitions.
C++17 came along and offered a std::byte; see P0298R0, A byte type definition. The global Crypto++ byte broke Linux when folks used a using namespace std. And it completely broke Microsoft because Microsoft SDK's provides a global byte. Ironically, the authors of P0298R0 work for Microsoft.
Crypto++ placing a byte in the global namespace was a C++ No-No. We got away with it for years, but it jumped up and bit us in C++17. We moved it into our namespace where it belongs. The check-in occurred at Commit 00f9818b5d8e, which happened after 5.6.5 was released and prior to 6.0 release.
Looking at the source for BitfinexAPI.cpp, this is probably the solution... open BitfinexAPI.cpp, and add the following at the top of the file:
// CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE signals byte is at CryptoPP::byte
#if defined(CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE)
using CryptoPP::byte;
#endif
Also see std::byte on the Crypto++ wiki. We took the time to document it because of all the problems std::byte, Microsoft's global byte and our byte definitions are going to cause.
Related, you don't need to specify the C++ header on the command line. The compile error is due to the changes detailed above. All you need is:
g++ -std=c++17 example.cpp BitfinexAPI.cpp -I. ./cryptopp/libcryptopp.a -o example.exe
This assumes a directory structure of:
- bfx-api/
|
+- cryptopp/
The cryptopp/libcryptopp.a is a convenient way to sidestep those stupid Linux path problems that have existed for years. You link against the static archive which means you don't need a library at runtime.
Now open in the BFX issue tracker: Crypto++ byte change at Crypto++ 6.0. It should help the project engineer around the changes.
A bit tricky but I (think?) found it. byte is defined in the cryptopp code at:
https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/blob/master/config.h
line 222. So I'm guessing the config.h on your system is non-existent, probably because you didn't properly install the header. A common problem is having the library
sudo apt-get install libcrypto++
but missing the developer files (specifically the headers)
sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-dev
I'm not 100% about the package names (Debian user), should be close though.
Good catch from JTejedor:
Seems like the crypto guys placed a namespace around their definitions so as to not conflict with std::byte. You may want to add a CryptoPP:: to the byte definition in bfx (line 936), and if that works open a bug to the guys over there (or request a pull).

Conflicting declaration when cross compiling with mingw-w64 on Linux

I've been trying to figure out an issue I've been having with cross-compiling C++ code on Linux for Windows. The code I'm trying to compile is:
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char** argv){
std::cout<<"Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
I'm trying to compile for a 64 bit windows installation, and so I run:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ main.cpp
but it produces the following errors:

The error line:

suggests to me that mingw-w64 is using the linux libraries instead of the ones compiled for windows, but upon searching I cannot seem to figure out how to resolve this. I'm using Archlinux and the mingw-w64 package group from the official repository. I've tried reinstalling the mingw-w64 package group thinking that maybe the libraries were not compiled correctly but I'm still receiving the same errors.
To be clear, I am able to compile this code with:
g++ main.cpp
Any help or anything to point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You appear to be allowing your mingw-w64 compiler to search the native linux-gnu compiler's header file tree. This is completely wrong. Those headers are for use exclusively when compiling native code; you must never allow a cross-compiler to see them. Each individual compiler, both native and cross, will have its own specific set of system headers; each should be allowed to see only those which belong to itself.
You also seem to be confused about the respective roles of libraries and headers. Libraries come into play only at link time; they play no part in the compiling process. Headers describe the features provided by the libraries; it is these descriptions which are used by the compiler. It is the linker which uses the libraries; the linker is a separate program, which is normally invoked by the compiler driver, after completion of the compilation process itself.
The issue was that there was an environment variable set that mingw-w64 was using to find the linux header files. Specifically, I had set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH in my .bashrc a while ago and had forgotten about it. This variable does not generally need to be set unless there is some special circumstance that requires it. I do not personally rely on it. I commented out the export and the compiler seems to be finding all the headers it needs now.

G++ not finding symbols from regex system header

I am trying to use the GNU C library regex functionality in my C++ project, particularly I'm trying to use the regex_t regcomp, regexec, regfree functions. Upon compilation I get errors stating that these symbols are undefined:

RootGenerator.cpp:1092: error: ‘REG_NOMATCH’ was not declared in this scope
RootGenerator.cpp:1108: error: ‘regfree’ was not declared in this scope
I realize that the regex header is a TR1 implementation and is therefore experimental for my version of GCC. I added the -std=gnu++0x compiler option according to the compiler warning recieved when first trying to compile but this doesn't seem to fix the issue. Is this an issue of the system not recognizing and adding paths to "experimental" headers? Are there additional include paths or compiler options that I need to specify?
As an additional note, I noticed in Eclipse/CDT that under the "includes" tab in the Project Explorer view, it shows a list of the system header paths. It lists many header files under the /user/include/c++/4.4.4 path tab, but It doesn't list the regex header. I think this is also reaffirming that there is a setting issue.
Found the problem:
#include <regex>
should be
#include <regex.h>
The regex.h header is the GNU C library implementation of regex, containing the functions I was trying to use in my source. The regex header is the TR1 (and incomplete) regex implemntation. So #Oli, I wasn't referencing the relevant header after all!

How to run program written for old compiler?

I'm looking for an implementation of Hybrid Tree(not important), and find an "old" one here.
The author said they have tried this code on the SUN Sparc platform (running Solaris 2.6) and with gcc-2.8.1 compiler. And my environment is gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 10.10).
The problem is:
I run "make" with the makefile he provides, but it gives me lots of error message as follows:

I know I need to modify the souce code so as to agree with the morden compiler, such as change vector.h to vector. But I find it's just endless.
So my question is: is there any convienent method to run this program, no matter automatically converting this code to "modern-style" or using a standalone "old-style" compiler ?
Any suggestions?
===Update:===
Thank you all, I installed gcc2.8.1 in a different dir using --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1 and modify the "makefile" to use this old-version gcc(/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1/bin/gcc). But when I run "make", it still gives me errors of not finding the headers:
/usr/local/gcc-2.8.1/bin/gcc -c DataNode.C

make: *** [DataNode.o] Error 1
Then I tried to find these heads in /usr/local/gcc-2.8.1 using find /usr/local/gcc-2.8.1 -name "*vector*", but got nothing.
So where are these heads for the old-version gcc?
You can make a vertor.h yourself which includes vector. This way you can fix the incompatibilities noninvasively.
Edit:
You may also need to add a
using namespace std;
in the header file(s). This is
generally a bad idea but this is one situation where i'd do it anyway.
Once you get it working i would reccomend rewriting it to use the new style header files and namespaces.
Debian Lenny (oldstable) has gcc 3.4. This might have a better backward compatibility. Try to make compatibility headers for the rest of the issues and include them via an extra -I directory, e.g. a vector.h header file that includes vector.
Do yourself the favor and try not to touch the old code. It is easy to break legacy code in unforeseen ways.
You could try running the program on QEMU which supports Solaris 2.6. The only problem might be hunting for the install disc/image. Also, there are people that sells old Solaris boxes on eBay for cheap, you might be able to grab one.
GCC provides download for very old versions, you might be able to get better chance if you try older version of the compiler.
gcc has -fpermissive option: try it and see whether at least some errors disappear. Also: try making a single header file that will include all requisite headers with using directives. For example, make stdinc.h containing:
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
...
using std::vector;
using std::fstream;
...
Replace all mentions of legacy C++ header files with a single include of stdinc.h. Old C++ didn't have namespaces, so even if you replace individual directives with just using namespace std;, clashes are unlikely.
If the only thing is
#include <vector.h>
to
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
Why not try sed?
grep for all includes to see if there are other includes than the c++ headers. If not your lucky.
Another thing that is more tricky is that there is old code that relies on accessing data through iterators in a non-standard way. I saw that in a Doom map editor for linux. Then you may need to do manual stuff.
