Cannot execute cmake, fails to link some kind of library

So, i just want to use cmake as my C++ build System, but, when trying to run

cmake --version

cmake --version

cmake --version

cmake --version after installing it, it says:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "cmake": cannot locate symbol "_ZN4Json5ValueaSEOS0_" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/cmake"...

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "cmake": cannot locate symbol "_ZN4Json5ValueaSEOS0_" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/cmake"...

Maybe
apt reinstall cmake

that's doesn't work, btw, i change the default package manager to pacman tho, but that's, i think, not the issue, I guess

Try pacman -Syupacman -Syu

doesn't work either, it's strange that it doesn't work for no clear reason, it may missing a dependency or what, idk.

RandomGuyOP•3/6/25, 4:21 PM

maybe this cmake package need to be rebuild, or if it just pacman couldn't get the dependency right, i don't know

RandomGuyOP•3/6/25, 4:22 PM

also, did the cmake work in your device?

RandomGuyOP•3/6/25, 9:30 PM

i guess this issue because of jsoncpp, because i try to install other package that has this package as dependency, like Luanti, it will fail:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "luanti": cannot locate symbol "_ZTIN4Json9ExceptionE" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/luanti"...

i guess i had to file an issue on GitHub?

Having a similar issue here, the mangled symbol is: _ZN4Json5ValueC1ERKNSt6__ndk112basic_stringIcNS1_11char_traitsIcEENS1_9allocatorIcEEEE
This is for cmake 4.1.2, on termux 0.119.0-beta.3

Binary is from https://mirrors.de.sahilister.net/termux/termux-main stable/main aarch64 cmake aarch64 4.1.2 [9169 kB]

Should I be pulling from another source instead?

Purged .config and .termux and now it works! Fyi
