Error on Shadow-plugin-bitcoin section

[jhodge94]

When I am trying to use cmake with "CC=which clang CXX=which clang++ cmake ../.."
I keep getting this error...

CC=which clang CXX=which clang++ cmake ../..
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/which
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/which -- broken
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
The C compiler "/usr/bin/which" is not able to compile a simple test
program.

It fails with the following output:

Any insight to what I have done wrong? i've followed the wiki guide step by step, Thanks!

Your command is incorrect. You should have ticks around which clang and which clang++, like this:

CC=`which clang` CXX=`which clang++` cmake ../..

[robgjansen]

(Make sure you are using Shadow version 1.10.2, other versions of Shadow won't work with the bitcoin plug-in. Also, be warned that the bitcoin plug-in is not well tested.)

[jhodge94]

Thanks Rob, I will try this.
The reason why I am interested in this plug-in is that I am doing my dissertation on measuring the popularity of bitcoin using a simulator, do you have any links or suggestions to ones that are well tested? @robgjansen

[robgjansen]

Not that I am aware of. Since this is for your dissertation, it may be worth it for you to work out any issues you find and help contribute to Shadow in the process. ;)

@jhodge94 your dissertation topic sounds interesting. is it finished? available online somewhere?
