eosiocpp compilation error when following hello world contract tutorial is still occurring

Created on 9 Apr 2018 · 18Comments · Source: EOSIO/eos

I am running on the dawn-v3.0.0 tag, and I'm following the most recent tutorial: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/wiki/Tutorial-Getting-Started-With-Contracts
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 Server.
The error below occurs when I try to compile hello.cpp and generate the hello.wast file using eosiocpp:
jae@hkeos:~/eos-dawn-v3.0.0/eos/build/tools$./eosiocpp -o ../contracts/hello/hello.wast ../contracts/hello/hello.cpp

../contracts/hello/hello.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'eosiolib/eosio.hpp' file not
      found
#include <eosiolib/eosio.hpp>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

I've already tried sudo make install again, but it didn't work.

Hey guys, sorry I should have commented how I fixed this much earlier.

I ran while in the build folder:

$ sudo su
$ make install
$ su <username>

Then, I compiled again, and everything worked :)

You can do this to set a contract :

cleos set contract eosio build/contracts/hello

Error is not on the deployment stage, it's when I try to compile using eosiocpp

Hi @jchung00, I had the same problem you are having now. Given that you have done sudo make install and everything seems correct with your installation, try then moving the hello contract code to another folder, out of contracts/. That worked for me. It is always good to keep software installation and workspace separate.

Hope it helps.

Same issue here... any solution?

I'm on OSX High Sierra 10.13.3 -- I ran the ./eosio_build.sh (without sudo)

Ok!

I made it work after going to build folder and running sudo make install

Perhaps it's a missing command in the build script or it's running without sudo...

Getting the same issue here on ubuntu 17.10 with the latest master. Ran sudo make install in the build folder again, tried moving to a different folder and still getting the error compiling from the skeleton. 2 errors and 5 warnings

eosiocpp -o helloworld.wast helloworld.cpp
