Problem

CMake configuration failed due to circular dependencies between atomspace components and incorrect target names throughout the codebase (atomvalue vs value).

Changes

Circular Dependency Resolution

Removed 7 circular dependencies by eliminating unnecessary ADD_DEPENDENCIES directives where components only required link-time dependencies:

  • atombaseatomspace: removed atomspace from atombase dependencies
  • truthvalueatomspace: removed atomspace from truthvalue dependencies
  • executionatomspace: removed atomspace from execution dependencies
  • clearboxatomspace: removed atomspace from clearbox dependencies
  • query-engineatomspace: removed atomspace from query-engine dependencies
  • Simplified atomspace ADD_DEPENDENCIES to only core dependencies
  • feature_selectionmoses: removed moses from feature_selection dependencies

Target Name Corrections

Replaced incorrect atomvalue target references with value in 90+ CMakeLists.txt files across:

  • atomspace components
  • cogserver components
  • atomspace-rocks, atomspace-restful, atomspace-storage
  • ure, unify, spacetime, pln, miner, asmoses
  • lg-atomese and other language processing components

Dependency Ordering

Added explicit ADD_DEPENDENCIES(moses_exec cogutil comboreduct moses) to prevent race conditions in parallel builds.

Component Management

Temporarily disabled non-core components with compilation errors to unblock core OpenCog build:

  • CogZero (requires pkg-config monorepo integration updates for agentzero-* modules)
  • cognitive-visualization (nlohmann/json API compatibility)
  • agentic-kernels-catalog (C++ syntax errors)
  • meta-cognition (missing header files)
  • evolutionary-optimization (depends on meta-cognition)

System Dependencies

  • Added nlohmann-json3-dev for JSON support
  • Updated agentzero-core CMakeLists to check for monorepo targets before falling back to pkg-config

Result

CMake configuration now completes successfully. Core OpenCog components (cogutil, atomspace, cogserver, moses, ure, unify, pln, miner, asmoses, lg-atomese) are ready for build.

-- Configuring done (2.5s)
-- Generating done (0.5s)
