[odb-users] Internal compiler error linked to spdlog

[Sten Kultakangas]

Hi. How did you build ODB ? Try to build it using these commands. And then
make sure to remove it from /usr/local or a similar location
It's not a good idea to install ODB to /usr/local or to the same directory
as build2.
Also it's not a good idea to build ODB when you have some junk in
CPATH, LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.
We maintain strict isolation between ODB, build2, distribution-provided
development packages and non-distribution-provided packages and there are
no issues with ABI compatibility.

mkdir build2-build
cd build2-build
wget https://download.build2.org/0.12.0/build2-install-0.12.0.sh
chmod +x build2-install-0.12.0.sh
./build2-install-0.12.0.sh /opt/build2
cd ..

export PATH=/opt/build2/bin:$PATH
bpkg create -d odb-gcc-8 cc config.cxx=g++ config.cc.coptions=-O3
config.install.root=/opt/odb
cd odb-gcc-8
bpkg build odb at https://pkg.cppget.org/1/beta
bpkg test odb
bpkg install odb

export PATH=/opt/odb/bin:$PATH

cd ..
bpkg create -d libodb-gcc-8 config.cxx=g++ config.cc.coptions=-O3
config.install.root=/opt/odb
cd libodb-gcc-8
bpkg add https://pkg.cppget.org/1/beta
bpkg fetch
bpkg build libodb
bpkg build libodb-mysql
bpkg build libodb-mssql
bpkg build libodb-boost
bpkg install --all --recursive

After that make sure your development environment has the following
environment variables
export PATH=/opt/odb/bin:$PATH
export CPATH=/opt/odb/include:$CPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/odb/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/odb/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
