AWS SDK C++ install using cmake on Ubuntu, problem with installing third-party libraries

I am installing the aws-cpp-sdk in Ubuntu 20.04 by following the installation instructions on: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp

I built/installed the SDK from source as per the instructions which worked. Installation locations:

  • /usr/local/lib
  • /usr/local/include/aws

I built/installed the aws-c-common as per the instructions (although I didn't use a DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX).

I attempt to build aws-checksums but can't get past the cmake. When I run cmake .. while in the build directory which is in the code directory I get:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works

I've tried to point the prefix to the sdk install folders but that did not solve my problem. That is where I get stuck. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

If you are building from source make sure to use this command

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp

I ran into a similar issue while building because I was missing the --recurse-submodules tag. I built inside a docker container running Ubuntu. My solution is for the AWS cpp sdk, but it might also work for your case.

I do this inside a Dockerfile, and it runs properly:

RUN cd /tmp \
  && git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git \
  && cd aws-sdk-cpp \
  && mkdir build \
  && cd build \
  && cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_ONLY="ecr" \
  && make \
  && make install

It builds without the -DBUILD_ONLY option as well. However, this is on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, not 20.04. I don't imagine there's a difference, however.

You haven't said what options you're feeding cmake.

I've created a demo application s3-demo that gets the list of buckets in a specific region. This project is available at github.com/unfor19/docker-aws-sdk-cpp

I also had the same issue that you had (and many more), but I was finally able to cook a Dockerfile that builds aws-sdk-cpp and the demo application.

Here's my Dockerfile

ARG AWS_SDK_CPP_VERSION="1.8.160"
ARG AWS_SDK_CPP_BUILD_TYPE="Release"
ARG APP_BUILD_TYPE="Release"
