bitcoin compile error on CentOS 6.6: ‘SIZE_MAX’ was not declared in this scope

Question

I am trying to run a bitcoind instance (branch 0.9 from git repository) on CentOS 6.6 following this guide but I get this error when building LevelDB:

Building LevelDB ...

Here is the a pastebin with the end of the compiling output.

Anyone have some idea on how to workaround it?

Answer 1

So I found this thread that gave me the clue how to workaround this issue, basically insert the following at line 5 of src/leveldb/helpers/memenv/memenv.h and it compiles fine:

#ifndef __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#endif
